Does Age Play a Factor in the Success of Tubal Reconstruction?

Yes, the younger the patient, the higher the success rate. Even if a tubal reconstruction surgery is successful, a woman may still not become pregnant. Factors such as age, the presence of other fertility issues, and the body’s tendency to create scar tissue play a role in the success rate for pregnancy.

What Conditions Can Tubal Reconstruction Address?

Hydrosalpinx (plural hydrosalpinges) is a common condition, in which the end of one or both fallopian tubes is blocked and fluid builds up. Neosalpingostomy, commonly called fimbrioplasty, is a procedure designed to repair damaged fallopian tubes, and is ideally performed by laparoscopy. Dr. Rotman performs both neosalpingostomy/fimbrioplasty by laparoscopy, and his studies show that this should be the preferred approach for women who suffer from these conditions.
