Purpose The primary purpose of this study on Fallopian Tube Recanalization (FTR) is to evaluate the clinical efficacy and the potential outcomes of this medical procedure in patients with tubal factor infertility. FTR is often recommended for women who suffer from blocked fallopian tubes, a common cause of infertility. This intervention aims to restore tubal patency, thereby facilitating natural conception by enabling the sperm to reach the egg. The procedure has emerged as a promising treatment alternative to in-vitro fertilization (IVF)...
Read more Methods and materials The methods of Fallopian Tube Recanalization utilized in the study included two primary approaches: hydrosalpingoscopy and laparoscopic surgery. Hydrosalpingoscopy involves the use of a small catheter inserted through the cervix, which then injects saline or contrast medium to visualize and clear the blocked tubes under fluoroscopic guidance. On the other hand, laparoscopic FTR involves direct visualization and surgery on the tubes, with the use of laser or mechanical dilation techniques to remove blockages or adhesions.Patient selection for the procedures was...
Read more Results The findings of this study provide a detailed examination of the effectiveness and risks associated with Fallopian Tube Recanalization (FTR).From the total cohort of 200 patients who underwent the procedure, the success rate for initial tubal patency post-procedure was 82%. This result was slightly higher among patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery (85%) compared to those who received hydrosalpingoscopy (78%). Patients with distal or fimbrial blockages had a higher success rate (86%) compared to those with proximal blockages, where the success...
Read more Conclusion In conclusion, Fallopian Tube Recanalization (FTR)is a highly effective and viable treatment option for women suffering from tubal factor infertility. The findings of this study demonstrate that FTR, particularly when performed laparoscopically, offers promising outcomes in terms of restoring tubal patency and increasing pregnancy rates. With an initial success rate of 82%, FTR has shown to be a superior alternative to in-vitro fertilization (IVF) for women with clear and non-damaged tubes, especially for those with unilateral tubal blockages.The procedure’s success...
