Perform recanalization surgery

An operation is not so easy to complete. There are many types of operations now. Most of them are minimally invasive operations that only require a few small incisions in the local area. The process is very simple, with little bleeding and quick wound recovery. Patients can usually be discharged from the hospital after 2 to 3 days or a week. It is not like traditional major operations that require hospitalization for half a month to a month. However, many people are curious about what type of recanalization surgery is? How to know?

What is recanalization surgery?

Whether it is surgical ligation or medical ligation, it is a relatively simple operation. Surgical ligation usually involves making a small incision in the abdomen and cutting and ligating the fallopian tube. The abdominal wound will be sutured with 1 to 2 stitches, and you can go home after 2 to 3 days of hospitalization. Medical ligation can be performed in an outpatient clinic and the patient can go home after occlusion. However, because the technology is difficult to master, only a few hospitals can do it.

After tubal ligation, some women want to get pregnant again for various reasons (such as accidental death of a child or remarriage, etc.). Tubal recanalization can be performed to reconnect the fallopian tubes and restore fertility.

Some people may confuse fallopian tube recanalization with hydrotubation (commonly known as hydrotubation). In fact, the two are completely different operations. Fallopian tube insufflation is a method of examination to determine whether the fallopian tubes of infertile patients are unobstructed.

During the operation, liquid is injected into the uterine cavity from the cervical opening. If the liquid can be injected smoothly and without obstruction, it means that the fallopian tube is unobstructed. Otherwise, it may be blocked or blocked. This examination does not require open surgery at all. Tubal recanalization is a procedure that involves reconnecting a ligated fallopian tube through laparotomy.

In mainland my country, due to the implementation of the family planning policy, fallopian tube recanalization surgery cannot be performed casually. Article 27 of the Guangdong Provincial Family Planning Regulations stipulates that if a couple of childbearing age undergoes sterilization surgery and their child dies and they meet the fertility regulations, they may undergo a vas (fallopian tube) recanalization surgery upon joint application by the couple and approval by the family planning administrative department at or above the county level. Therefore, if you want to go to the hospital for recanalization surgery, you must hold a certificate from the family planning department at or above the county level and your own ID card before the doctor will perform the surgery.

In addition to the required certificates, the reproductive organs of the patient must be in good condition and the basic conditions for pregnancy must be met, such as the woman's age must not be too old (such as not exceeding 45 years old, preferably not exceeding 40 years old), the ovaries must be functioning well and able to ovulate, and the man's semen examination must be normal. In this way, the probability of pregnancy after the operation will be higher and the operation will be valuable.

If there is active inflammation in the fallopian tubes, severe fibrosis and hardening of the fallopian tubes, or tuberculous salpingitis, fallopian tube recanalization cannot be performed.

Fallopian tube recanalization is relatively safe and generally has very few postoperative complications. As for the probability of pregnancy after surgery, this depends on the age and physical condition of the couple, the surgical method used for ligation, the condition of the fallopian tubes during the operation, the doctor's surgical level, and postoperative care. Fallopian tube recanalization requires high surgical skills from the doctor. The doctor's skills are the most critical factor affecting the success rate of the operation. A doctor with good skills is almost always successful, while a doctor with poor skills may fail completely.
