Patient's question:
Hello! What tests should be done for fallopian tube blockage?Doctor's answer:
Fimbrial adhesions and blockages of the fallopian tubes can be treated with pelvic adhesion release surgery and fimbrial recanalization surgery. If the fallopian tube is mildly hydrosalpinx, a fallopian tube ostomy may be performed, which may have a smaller impact on ovarian function compared to fallopian tube resection. On one hand, it drains the harmful fallopian tube hydrosalpinx, and on the other hand, it hopes to restore fallopian tube function through the body's remodeling, thereby preserving the possibility of natural conception; however, there is a risk of recurrent hydrosalpinx formation due to postoperative adhesion. For severely hydrosalpinx with completely lost function that cannot be preserved, fallopian tube resection can be performed. During resection, it is important to preserve as much of the mesentery as possible to minimize the potential impact on ovarian blood supply.
