Laparoscopic Tubal Surgeries · Ludhiana, Punjab
Restoring tubal patency and natural fertility — advanced minimally invasive surgery to repair blocked fallopian tubes using 4K HD laparoscopic systems at Dr. Rama Sofat Hospital, Ludhiana.
Blocked fallopian tubes are one of the leading causes of female infertility, accounting for approximately 25–30% of all infertility cases. The fallopian tubes play a critical role in natural conception, serving as the pathway where the egg meets the sperm and early embryo development begins. When one or both tubes are blocked — due to infection, surgery, or conditions like endometriosis — the egg and sperm cannot meet, making natural pregnancy difficult or impossible. At Dr. Rama Sofat Hospital, Ludhiana, we specialise in Laparoscopic Tuboplasty — a minimally invasive, fertility-restoring surgical procedure that gently reopens or repairs damaged fallopian tubes through small keyhole incisions.
Tuboplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at restoring the patency (openness) of the fallopian tubes. It is performed when the tubes are blocked or damaged due to infections (like PID or tuberculosis), previous surgeries, endometriosis, or ectopic pregnancy. The goal is to remove the blockage or reconstruct the tube so that natural conception can occur.
Many women with blocked tubes have no obvious symptoms and are diagnosed only during fertility evaluation.
Blocked tubes prevent the egg and sperm from meeting. Even partial blockage can delay or prevent conception. If tubes are damaged and filled with fluid (hydrosalpinx), the toxic fluid can also reduce IVF success rates by harming embryo implantation.
Antibiotics may be prescribed if the blockage is caused by an active infection (e.g. PID or tuberculosis). However, medication alone cannot physically reopen a blocked tube. It is primarily used to treat the underlying cause before surgical intervention.
Laparoscopic Tuboplasty is a minimally invasive procedure performed under general anaesthesia. Tiny incisions are made near the navel to insert a laparoscope (camera) and fine surgical instruments. The blocked segment of the tube is identified, and depending on the type and location of blockage, different techniques are used:
Fimbrioplasty
To open or reconstruct the fimbrial end (near the ovary).
Salpingostomy
To create a new opening if the fimbrial end is sealed.
Tubal Adhesiolysis
To gently remove scar tissue or adhesions around the tubes.
Tubal Reanastomosis
To reconnect the healthy portions of the tube if blockage is in the middle segment (commonly after previous sterilisation).
In some cases, especially when both tubes are severely damaged or completely blocked, the tubal tissue is unhealthy, or previous surgery has failed — In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) becomes the best alternative. At Dr. Rama Sofat Hospital, we offer both laparoscopic correction and IVF under one roof.
Myth
Fact
Yes. If the damage is mild, laparoscopic tuboplasty can reopen or repair the tubes. In severe cases, IVF may be a better option.
Success depends on the site and severity of blockage, but pregnancy rates can reach 30–60% after surgery when performed by experienced specialists.
No. It is done under anaesthesia, and patients typically experience minimal discomfort afterward.
You can begin trying for conception after 1–2 months, once complete healing has occurred.
In such cases, IVF (In-Vitro Fertilisation) offers an excellent alternative for achieving pregnancy.
