Fallopian Tube Recanalization / Tubal Recanalisation
Tubal recanalisation, also known as fallopian tube recanalisation (FTR), is a non-surgical procedure designed to treat blockages in the fallopian tubes of a woman's reproductive system. Blockages often occur due to debris buildup in the tubes, but in some cases, scarring from surgery or a serious infection can also lead to proximal tubal obstruction.
Advantages of FTR:
- Minimally invasive outpatient procedure with no incision needed.
- There is an increased chance of pregnancy if this is the sole cause of infertility .
- Short procedure with no overnight stay.
- Does not cause scarring or pain.
- Reduced risk of infection as compared to surgery.
