Fertility Enhancing Surgery
For some infertility causes, surgery can be used to repair structural issues or remove abnormalities hindering conception.
Surgery Done in Females for enhancing fertility:
Ovarian Surgery:
Ovarian drilling is a laparoscopic procedure done to stimulate ovulation in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Ovarian cystectomy involves removing benign ovarian cysts which can otherwise obstruct follicle growth and ovulation.
Tubal Surgery:
Blocked or scarred fallopian tubes are opened through tubal surgeries to enable sperm transport and embryo passage down the tube. Procedure options include:
- Tubal cannulation to open proximal tube blockage.
- Salpingostomy/Tuboplasty to repair tube scar tissue or damage.
- Fimbrioplasty to rebuild damaged fimbriae if tubes are clubbed shut.
Uterine Surgery
Structural abnormalities in the uterine cavity like fibroids, polyps, adhesions, or septum often need surgical correction. This allows for healthy embryo implantation.
Common procedures include:
- Myomectomy – Removal of uterine fibroids
- Polypectomy – Removal of endometrial polyps
- Lysis of adhesions – Cutting uterine scar tissue
- Metroplasty – Correcting uterine anomalies
In males, varicocele repair and cyst fluid drainage surgeries can sometimes improve sperm function. Following fertility treatment procedures with diligent follow-up care gives patients the optimal chance of conception success.
