Do you need to ligate the fallopian tubes for IVF?

Patient's question:

Married for a long time without having children because of taking medication, so the doctor recommended us to do a petri dish baby. So I want to ask, does doing a petri dish require a tubal ligation?

Doctor's answer:

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is suitable for various causes of infertility. If there is severe hydrosalpinx, it may affect the success rate of IVF. Mild hydrosalpinx or failure to culture in many petri dishes may require tubal ligation. For infertility caused by other reasons, there is no need to induce labor or ligate the fallopian tubes when undergoing IVF. Effective treatments for hydrosalpinx include removing the fallopian tube, ligating the proximal end, or completely filling the source of the hydrosalpinx to block it in the uterus to provide a clean and comfortable environment for embryo implantation.
