To check if the fallopian tubes are blocked or damaged, a laparoscopy will cost from $1,700 to $5,000. [17] If the fallopian tubes are blocked, there will be no fertilization and therefore, the egg and sperm cannot meet. If an individual wants to open up their fallopian tubes, a procedure called fallopian tube recanalization can be performed.
Treatment of fallopian tube obstruction has traditionally been treated with fallopian tubal surgery with a goal of restoring patency to the tubes and thus possibly normal function. A common modern day method of treatment is in vitro fertilization as it is more cost-effective, less invasive, and results are immediate.
Falloposcopy (occasionally also falloscopy [1]) is the inspection of the fallopian tubes through a micro- endoscope. [2] The falloposcope is inserted into the tube through its opening in the uterus at the proximal tubal opening via the uterotubal junction; technically it could also be inserted at the time of abdominal surgery or laparoscopy via the distal fimbriated end.
Laparoscopic Tubal Reversal is a minimally-invasive surgical procedure (laparoscopy), using small, specially-designed instruments to repair and reconnect the fallopian tubes. After general anesthesia has been administered, a 5mm (less than 3/8-inch) tube ( trocar ) is inserted inside the navel, and a special gas is pumped into the abdomen to ...

The guidance to remove fallopian tubes in order to prevent ovarian cancer is not entirely new, DeFeo said. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has recommended the procedure ...
Zygote intra fallopian transfer (ZIFT) is an infertility treatment used when a blockage in the fallopian tubes prevents the normal binding of sperm to the egg. Egg cells are removed from a woman's ovaries, and in vitro fertilised. The resulting zygote is placed into the fallopian tube by the use of laparoscopy.
The physician will obtain a medical history and evaluate for tubal obstructions and infections. Obstruction can occur anywhere along the length of the tube. It can be partially or completely blocked. The extent of obstruction is typically assessed using hysterosalpingogram (HSG). Some use laparoscopy to establish the extent of the disease.
