Tubal ligation is a method of permanent sterilization in women, very effective. But many women after tubal ligation want to get pregnant again. Can the fallopian tubes be reconnected? Let's find out in the article below to know the exact information.

A mature egg travels through the fallopian tube to the uterus for fertilization. After a tubal ligation is performed, the passage of the egg from the ovary to the uterus is interrupted, and conception cannot take place. So when you want to continue giving birth naturally again, the only method is to connect the fallopian tubes.

Tubal ligation is the only way to help women who have had a tubal ligation able to become pregnant again naturally. However, the effectiveness of tubal ligation, the ability to have children after the connection depends on many factors and individuals, such as the time of tubal ligation, the location where the fallopian tubes are constricted, the age of the woman. , ovarian reserve... The longer the tubal ligation time, the lower a woman's chance of having a baby again after tubal fusion.
Because the older a woman is, the less likely she is to have children. Besides, the longer the tubal ligation period, the less likely it is to get pregnant again. Therefore, the appropriate age to connect the fallopian tubes to continue having children is under 40 years old.
In some cases, the method of connecting the fallopian tubes cannot be applied, such as the fallopian tubes with fluid stasis, pus... because then the fallopian tubes have been damaged, so even though microsurgery is performed laparoscopically tubal function is no longer guaranteed.

Tubal connection is a very difficult and complicated method. This is a microsurgery technique. In laparoscopic surgery specialized in obstetrics and gynecology, tubal connection by laparoscopic method is the most difficult, because the diameter of the fallopian tube is very small, only about 1.5 mm, requiring equipment facilities. requires a very high level of expertise, surgical ability, and surgical experience for surgeons.
Robotic Surgery Center - Vinmec Times City International General Hospital masters robotic surgery techniques useful in suturing fallopian tubes as well as treating other gynecological diseases such as fibroid removal, pelvic floor restoration Hysterectomy treats both benign and malignant tumors.
In summary, women who have undergone tubal ligation and want to have children again need to see a specialist doctor for examination and specific advice on the method of tubal fusion.
