How much does tubal cannulation cost?

In our practice, women with tubal obstruction diagnosed at HSG are often referred for diagnostic laparoscopy and dye test for accurate diagnosis of tubal obstruction [4]. Following this, laparoscopic-guided hysteroscopic tubal cannulation is performed if the woman meets the selection criteria.

Is tubal cannulation a surgery?

Tubal cannulation is a procedure to open up tubal corneal blocks (origin of fallopian tubes near the uterus). It is done under hysteroscopic guidance (a procedure that allows the Gynaecologist to see inside the womb by means of a fine telescope called Hysteroscope, introduced through the neck of the womb).

What is the procedure for unblocking fallopian tubes?

Salpingostomy is done when the end of the fallopian tube is blocked by a buildup of fluid (hydrosalpinx). This procedure creates a new opening in the part of the tube closest to the ovary. But it is common for scar tissue to regrow after a salpingostomy, reblocking the tube.

What is a tubal cannulation?

Tubal cannulation is a nonsurgical treatment for fallopian tube blockages, especially blockages closest to the uterus. During this procedure, a doctor guides a catheter through the vagina and uterus until it reaches the blockage.

How effective is tubal cannulation?

Tubal cannulation can unblock proximately blocked fallopian tubes up to 85% of the time. Additionally, one study showed a 50% pregnancy rate in patients who had had their fallopian tubes successfully cannulated. It is important to note that up to 30% of patients may experience re-blocking of their fallopian tubes.

When is tubal cannulation done?

You should get it done only if an imaging test clearly shows a blockage in one or both of your fallopian tubes. The procedure is most successful when the blockage is in the part of the tube closest to your womb. You may hear your doctor call this a “proximal tubal obstruction.”

How much does it cost to get fallopian tubes unblocked?

Can hysteroscopy unblock fallopian tubes?

Can HSG test open blocked tubes?

One theory is that the dye flushes out the fallopian tubes, clearing minor blocks in some women. (Though HSG cannot repair or open the serious blockages.) If this is the case, the HSG test result will show unblocked fallopian tubes. However, some contrast may seem to stop and then continue on the x-ray.
