The fallopian tubes play a crucial role in the female reproductive system. One, it is the place where the egg released from the ovary and sperm meet for fertilization. Second, it helps the fertilized egg to travel to the uterus. But sometimes, this can't happen. There are several possible reasons for it - the most common being a blocked Fallopian tube.
Common causes of blocked fallopian tubes include: - Pelvic inflammatory disease - Endometriosis - Past ectopic pregnancy - Past abdominal surgery - Fibroids - Sexually transmitted infections.
Fallopian Tube Catheterization Procedure: Fallopian Tube Catheterization is performed to open the blocked fallopian tubes by a minimally invasive surgery called hysterolaparoscopy. It includes both hysteroscopy and laparoscopy. A guidewire is passed through the uterus to the tubes via a hysteroscope( a thin telescope-like device inserted into the uterus through the vagina ), and the blockage of the tubes can be cleared. Blockage opening can be confirmed immediately through laparoscopy ( a thin telescope-like device inserted through a small incision in a patient's belly button ). A contrast dye is passed through the cervix into the uterus and through the fallopian tube - spillage is visualized through a laparoscopy camera.
Thus hystero- laparoscopy is not only used for confirmation of tubal blockage but can sometimes also help in clearing the tubal blocks!
