tubal blockage is the means by which a woman has her tubes tied. When she decides to have them untied, she must go through a tubal ligation reversal. By this surgical method, the tubal blockage is removed.

While it is very possible to find out you have tubal blockage even though you have not had your tubes tied, this article will discuss the voluntary method. This is usually called tubal ligation, although the vernacular is having your "tubes tied".

Although several methods are used to create tubal blockage, there is no actual tying of your fallopian tubes like tying your shoes. For tubal ligation, you will find rings and clips being used as one method. Put simply, a ring or clip is applied to the tube very tightly in order to cut off the blood supply and which may eventually cut the tube at that point.

In the Pomeroy, Parkland and Irving methods, part of the tube is cut and removed in order to provide the tubal blockage. What is done to the remaining cut ends is what determines which method is actually being used. For instance, in the Irving method, the part of the tube still attached to the uterus is sutured to the back side of the uterus.

In bipolar and monopolar coagulation, the tube is burned by an electric current carried by forceps. With monopolar coagulation, more of the tube is "burned" due to the current spreading further into the tube tissue. With bipolar coagulation, which is the most popular laparoscopic method of tying tubes today in the US, a tubal ligation reversal procedure will give you about a 60% success rate of becoming pregnant again.

The next method of tubal blockage is done by removing the fimbrial end of the fallopian tube. This is the part nearest the ovary that captures the egg as it is released from the ovary. With that end cut off and as the end seals up, there is no way for the egg to enter the fallopian tube. Fortunately, this method is not often used.

Lastly, is a new method of tubal blockage. This is more a mechanical process whereby a spring like device called the Essure device is inserted into the fallopian tube through the uterus. Part of the device sticks out into the uterus and part sticks into the fallopian tube. Once in place, the device expands to fill the space in the tube and creates scarring around it.

This is a major case of tubal blockage that requires a major tubal ligation reversal surgery called tubouterine implantation. Not only must the device be removed from the tube, it must also be removed from the uterus. The remaining good portion of the tube is implanted into the uterus through a new opening.

As a new sterilization method, there have not been many Essure tubal ligation reversal surgeries conducted to this point in time in order for us to know what the success rate will be. There have been only a handful, if that many, reversals of this type of tubal blockage done at this point.

Whatever type of voluntary sterilization you have had, if you have changed you mind, you do have a chance of becoming pregnant again. Just seek at the best qualified tubal ligation reversal surgeon you can. Get your tubal blockage removed and bring that new bundle of joy home.

There are many reasons why a woman may not be able to conceive. However, the most common reason of all is because there is a tubal blockage. The blocked fallopian tubes are either preventing sperm from reaching the egg or is preventing the egg from reaching the uterus.

This condition occurs because the fallopian tubes are damaged by disease, tubal ligation or simply a mechanical problem. However, there are two ways in which a woman can be treated for a tubal blockage to help increase her chances of becoming pregnant. In this article we take a look at the surgical methods used for helping to deal with this particular condition.

1. Tubal Anastomosis - This particular form of surgery may also be referred to as tubal reanastomosis and is performed where the tubal blockage occurs between the uterus and fimbrial end of the fallopian tubes. This surgical treatment will require the patient to be asleep and involves the actual blocked segment of the fallopian tube being removed. Once the tubal blockage has been removed then the surgeon will join the two open segments of the fallopian tubes together.

2. Tubal Implantation - This form of surgery will be used where there is either a proximal tubal blockage, or a blockage to be found between the fallopian tubes and uterus. Rather than the blocked fallopian tubes segments being removed, instead they are bypassed and a new opening will then be created into the uterus. Into this opening a healthy portion of the woman's fallopian tube will then be inserted into the cavity of the uterine. The other names which surgeons may use when talking about this form of tubal blockage surgery are tubouterine implantation or uterotubal implantation.

3. Salpingostomy - Sometimes referred to as neosalpingostomy, this operation creates a new opening into the blocked fallopian tubes and is the one most often used for dealing with distal tubal blockage which are found close to the fimbrial end of the fallopian tubes. That is the end of the tubes that is nearest the ovary which captures the egg after it is released from the ovary.

The main benefit for women to be gained from undergoing these operations to treat a tubal blockage is they only need to be carried out once. Plus often within the first year after having undergone this form of surgery, women who had problems conceiving before will find it much easier to conceive now.

However, there are other methods doctors may suggest to couples when they are trying to conceive a child but with very little luck. In some cases women rather than undergoing the forms of surgery we mention above will opt for IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) treatment instead.

Along with the costs being much higher for undergoing IVF, the chances of a woman conceiving on the first treatment are quite low. Plus this form of treatment actually does not treat the real cause of why the woman may be having problems conceiving. In order to treat a fallopian tubal blockage correctly, surgery on the blocked fallopian tubes is the only real course of action to be considered.
