Surgery for Infertility Conditions
Advanced Laparoscopy
An out-patient surgical procedure where a surgeon with advanced
surgical skills and training in pelvic reconstruction (board
certified Reproductive Endocrinologist) inserts a mini-telescope
into the abdomen to view the pelvic organs. Surgical instruments can be inserted with the mini-telescope
to perform surgical removal of adhesions, cysts, endometriosis and
to reconstruct pelvic structures such as the fallopian tubes that
have been damaged, infected or tied in the past.
Fallopian Tube
Reconstruction
A surgical procedure to repair tubes that have been damaged. The
most common form of damage is secondary to a previous tubal
ligation.
Microsurgical Tubal
Anastamosis/Tubal Reversal
A surgical procedure to repair the fallopian tubes that have been damaged. The
most common form of damage is secondary to a previous tubal
ligation.
Usually there are two remaining fallopian tube segments - the proximal tubal segment that emerges from the uterus and the tubal segment that ends with the fimbria next to the ovary. The procedure looks to connect the two pieces and there for make fertilization possible.
Adhesiolysis
Surgical removal of adhesions, usually during an out-patient Laparoscopy
procedure. Adhesions are scar tissue that
forms around reproductive organs following a previous surgery,
infection or injury.
