Blocked Fallopian Tube is the surgery performed by destruction of the fallopian tubes to avoid pregnancy for health purposes. This surgery may be done with a Laparoctomy, which involves a larger incision and mini laparoctomy, which involves a very small incision. The opening stages of the blocked fallopian tube surgery are similar. The individual’s abdomen is shaved and washed with soap and antiseptic. A sterile drape is placed over the person, covering everything except the small area where the incision should be done. Before the surgery a local anesthesia plus sedation of general anesthesia may be used. In the laparoscopic surgery, a small incision is done in or just below the navel, and the laparoscope is inserted. The abdomen is inflated with carbon dioxide or air to divide the organs. Depending on the doctor’s chosen technique, another small incision can be done through which other instruments will be passed. In the mini-laparoctomy, an incision can be performed with either the transvaginal or abdominal approach; an incision is done that allows access to the fallopian tubes. The 2 surgeries are similar regardless of the route taken into the abdomen. The gynecologist distinguishes the fallopian tubes from the ureters and the veins and arteries that supply the pelvic area. When located, the tubes are cut. Part or most parts of the tubes are removed. Some surgeons may choose to cut and plug the tubes. Others may cut tubes and fold the ends back, sewing them to the remaining stumps. Regardless of the approach, when the blocked fallopian tube procedure is complete, the surgeon closes the entry incision with bandages or sutures, and the individual is transferred to the recovery room.
