Hysteroscopy for blocked fallopian tubes

Modern women are prone to infertility problems due to excessive stress and irregular diet. As for difficulty in conceiving, it is most likely due to blockage of the fallopian tubes. If you find that your fallopian tubes are blocked during examination, you must seek timely treatment to help your body recover as soon as possible. A more common method of treatment is laparoscopic surgery.

Hysteroscopic and laparoscopic surgery is mainly used in clinical practice for diagnosis and treatment. The former includes the exploration of abnormal uterine bleeding, intrauterine causes of primary or secondary infertility, etc.; the latter includes the unblocking of fallopian tube blockage, removal of submucosal uterine fibroids, removal of endometrial polyps, functional uterine bleeding, and positioning of contraceptive devices, etc.

Basic Information

Introduction

Hysteroscope: It is essentially a fiber-light endoscope, including a hysteroscope, an energy system, a light source system, a perfusion system and an imaging system.

Technical features

Hysteroscopy and laparoscopy can not only determine the location, size, appearance and range of the lesions, but also make detailed observations of the tissue structure on the surface of the lesions, and obtain samples or perform positioning curettage under direct vision, which greatly improves the accuracy of diagnosis of intrauterine diseases, updates, develops and makes up for the shortcomings of traditional diagnosis and treatment methods.

Indications

1. Laparoscopic surgery for removal of benign fallopian tube or ovarian tumors.

2. Laparoscopic surgical treatment of ectopic pregnancy: Laparoscopic salpingectomy can be performed. Linear tubal incision and embryo retrieval preserves the fallopian tube. Mass removal for tubal ectopic pregnancy.

3. Laparoscopic surgery for removal of ovarian cysts.

4. Laparoscopic adnexectomy.

5. Laparoscopic surgery for pelvic adhesion resolution.

6. Laparoscopic sterilization surgery. Laparoscopic repair of uterine perforation. Laparoscopic surgery for IUD removal.

7. Laparoscopic uterine repositioning surgery. Laparoscopic uterine suspension surgery.

8. Infertility. Laparoscopic salpingostomy.

9. Laparoscopic surgical treatment of uterine fibroids.

Advantages of surgery

Diagnostic and therapeutic effects

Hysteroscopy and laparoscopy can replace most transabdominal laparotomies. A typical example is pelvic inflammatory adhesion masses. The use of hysteroscopy and laparoscopy avoids blind laparotomy. On the other hand, hysteroscopy and laparoscopy can perform surgical treatment while diagnosing, especially in diseases such as ectopic pregnancy, ovarian rupture, and infertility, its superiority is more obvious.

Less invasive surgery

Laparoscopic surgery causes minimal trauma, requires only two small incisions, and leaves very small scars, which is especially noteworthy for young people and women who love beauty. The postoperative pain is mild and most people no longer need painkillers after surgery. A hysteroscope is an optical instrument used for observation, diagnosis and treatment of the uterine cavity. Hysteroscopes can be divided into diagnostic and surgical types, and soft and hard types. The flexible diagnostic hysteroscope is made of advanced optical fiber. It has a small diameter and can be bent at will, making it easy to observe and diagnose the entire uterine cavity. The examination process is fast (about 2 to 5 minutes), painless, and does not hurt the uterus.

Fast recovery after surgery

Hysteroscopic laparoscopic surgery is performed in a closed pelvic and abdominal cavity, and the trauma is far less than that of transabdominal surgery. The patient can get out of bed and move around after the operation, and can eat semi-liquid food the next day. Generally, the patient can be discharged from the hospital 3 days after the operation and resume normal life and work after one week. The patient's wound pain was significantly alleviated after laparoscopic surgery.

Little scarring

Traditional surgery has the disadvantage of leaving long scars that affect appearance, while laparoscopic surgery leaves almost no scars, which is particularly suitable for women's needs for beauty. Hysteroscopic laparoscopy causes little interference to the pelvic cavity, and there is no contact between gauze or sutures and tissues, so postoperative pelvic and abdominal adhesions are far less than those caused by abdominal surgery. Laparoscopic surgery is a single-blade direct approach that minimizes damage to surrounding tissues and reduces the chance of postoperative adhesions.

Save on medical expenses

Laparoscopic surgery requires fewer hospital stays. Some patients can be discharged from the hospital in just 2-3 days and fully recover and return to work in 7 days, which greatly reduces the cost burden on patients. Hysteroscopic and laparoscopic surgery reduces costs for patients due to reduced hospital stays, faster postoperative recovery, and reduced medication. In addition, due to minimal surgical trauma, patients can return to work in a short period of time, and problems such as reduced income due to the disease and the need for care from others for the family no longer exist.
