Fimbrioplasty
A procedure that repairs the delicate, finger-like ends of the fallopian tubes to improve fertility.
What is Fimbrioplasty?
Fimbrioplasty repairs the fimbriae, the delicate, finger-like projections at the end of the fallopian tubes that capture the egg released from the ovary, when they have become damaged or partially blocked by scar tissue, often from previous infection or endometriosis. Using microsurgical or laparoscopic techniques, your surgeon carefully separates adhesions and reconstructs the fimbrial opening to restore its function in capturing eggs. This delicate procedure is performed under general anaesthesia, with your fertility specialist assessing beforehand whether this repair is likely to improve your chances of natural conception.
Why is this procedure performed?
- Fertility difficulties linked to damaged or blocked fimbriae
- Scar tissue around the fallopian tube ends from previous infection
- Endometriosis affecting the fimbrial structures
- A desire to restore natural fertility rather than proceed directly to IVF
- Confirmed fimbrial damage on diagnostic imaging or laparoscopy
How does this procedure help?
Repairing damaged fimbriae can restore the fallopian tube's ability to capture eggs, potentially improving your chances of natural conception for fertility difficulties linked specifically to this cause. Your fertility specialist provides an individualized assessment of the likely benefit for your specific situation, since success depends on the extent of the original damage. Recovery from a laparoscopic procedure is typically quick, with most patients returning to normal activities within one to two weeks.
