Fallopian tube obstruction is a major cause of female infertility. Blocked fallopian tubes are unable to let the ovum and the sperm converge thus making fertilization impossible. Contents 1 Types 2 Causes 3 Evaluation 4 Treatment 5 References // Types
About 20% of female infertility can be attributed to tubal causes.1 Distal tubal occlusion (affecting the end towards the ovary) is typically associated with hydrosalpinx formation and often caused by Chlamydia trachomatis.1 Pelvic adhesions may be associated with such an infection. In less severe forms the fimbriae may be aggluntinated and damaged but some patency may still be prese

rved. Midsegment tubal obstruction can be due to tubal ligation procedures as that part of the tube is a common target of sterilization interventions. Proximal tubal occlusion can occur after infection such as a septic abortion. Also some tubal sterilization procedures such as the Essure procedure target the part of the tube that is close to the uterus..
Causes
Most commonly a tube may be obstructed due to infection such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). The rate of tubal infertility has been reported to be 12% after one 23% after two and 53% after three episodes of PID.1 Other infections that may occlude or disable the tube include endometritis infections after childbirth or abortions and intraabdominal infections including appendicitis and peritonitis. The formation of adhesions may not necessarily block a fallopian tube but

render it dysuntional by distorting or sperating it from the ovary. It has been reported that women with distal tubal occlusion have a higher rate of HIV infection.2
Fallopian tubes are often blocked iatrogenically as a method of contraception. In these situations tubes tend to be healthy and typically patients requesting the procedure had children. While tubal ligation is considered a permanent procedure some patients later regret their decision and want the procedure "undone". Evaluation
While a full testing of tubal functions in patients with infertility is not possible testing of tubal patency is feasible. A hysterosalpingogram will demonstrate that tubes are open when the radioopaque dye spills into the uterine cavity. Sonography can demonstrate tubal abnormalities such as a hydrosalpinx indicative of tubal occlusion. Dur

This image shows that a wire has been passed through the selective salpingography catheter the obstruction has been dislodged and the wire can move freely within the fallopian tube The wire has been withdrawn The dye can now flow through the fallopian tube

ing surgery typically laparoscopy the status of the tubes can be inspected and a dye such as methylene blue can be injected in a process termed chromotubation into the uterus and shown to pass through the tubes when the cervix is occluded. Laparoscopic chromotubation has ben described as the gold standard of tubal evaluation.3 As tubal disease is often related to Chlamydia infection testing for Chlamydia antibodies has become a cost-effective screening device for tubal pathology.3

n is used to overcome tubal infertility as it is more cost-effective less invasive and results are immediate. With IVF after stimulation of ovarian follicles egg cells are removed via a sonographic directed vaginal puncture into the ovary these eggs are fertiized outside the body and the resultant embryo placed transcervically into the uterus; - the tubes are bypassed in this process.
Different types of tuboplasty have been developed and can be applied by laparoscopy or laparotomy. They include lysis of adhesions fimbrioplasty (repairing the fimbriated end of the tubes) salpinostomy (creating an opening for the tube) resection and reananstomosis (removing a piece of blocked tube and reuniting the remaining patent parts of the tube) and tubal reimplantation (reconnecting the tube to the uterus).

opy proximal tubal occlusion can be overcome by transcervical catheter recanalization5 or falloposcopy.
Results of tubal surgery are inversely related to damage that exists prior to surgery.6 Development of adhesions remains a problem.1 Patients with operated tubes are at increased risk for ectopic pregnancy.6
Surgical repair of fallopian tubes that have been occluded by a sterilization procedure generally have good success rates provided enough healthy tubal tissue is present for the surgeon to perform a tubal reversal.
While IVF therapy has largely replaced tubal surgery in the treatment of infertility the presence of hydrosalpinx is an detriment to IVF success. It has been recommended that prior to IVF laparoscopic surgery should be done to either block or remove hydrosalpinges.7 References a b c d Yen SSC Jaffe RB
