🩺 A Minimally Invasive Option to Restore Natural Fertility After Tubal Ligation

For many women who previously chose tubal ligation as a permanent method of contraception, life circumstances—and family goals—can change. At Inser Fertility Center, we offer a second chance at natural conception through tubal recanalization, a specialized procedure that reopens previously blocked or tied Fallopian tubes, restoring their function.

As Colombia’s leading reproductive health institution—with accreditations from JCI, AAAASF, RedLara, GHA, and ACCERH—Inser provides compassionate, high-quality care for women seeking fertility restoration.

Tubal Recanalization

What is Tubal Recanalization?

Tubal recanalization is a surgical procedure that attempts to restore patency (openness) to one or both Fallopian tubes that have been blocked or cut during a previous tubal ligation. When successful, this allows eggs to travel from the ovaries to the uterus naturally—restoring the possibility of spontaneous pregnancy.

How is Tubal recanalization perfomed?

Reconstruction of the Fallopian tubes through surgery is an effective method. This can be achieved through open surgery, with an incision like the ones to perform a cesarean section or laparoscopic surgery, done by small incisions of 5 millimeters in the abdomen for the introduction of surgical tweezers and a lens, which connects to a video screen that allows the physician to see and manipulate the organs inside the pelvis.

What are the conditions for successful Tubal Recanalization?

The most important thing a couple should know before submitting to a tubal recanalization procedure is that it has several conditions to ensure its success. Some of them are:

The method used in tubal ligation should be considered because, in some cases, the physician makes a section (or cut) of a large part of the Fallopian tube, which makes it very difficult to reconnect both ends of it.
The woman must be less than 37 years old.
Tubal ligation must have happened less than a decade ago.

What are the probabilities of success with this treatment?

In the hands of skilled and well-trained personnel, the possibility of the tubes being permeable and functional again is approximately 50 to 60%. If this is achieved, the chance for a spontaneous pregnancy becomes good.

Sometimes the tubes do not recover good functionality or remain obstructed despite the attempt to reconstruct them. This usually happens when they are significantly deteriorated because of the technique used for ligation, in which an extended portion of the tube has been resected or cauterized.

🛠️ The Tubal Recanalization Process at Inser

1. Initial Fertility Assessment
A comprehensive review of your medical and surgical history, including hormone levels and a semen analysis for your partner.

2. Imaging and Diagnostic Testing
A hysterosalpingogram (HSG) or saline infusion sonography may be used to assess the uterine cavity and remaining tubal structure.

Performed via laparoscopy or hysteroscopy, depending on the case. Inser’s surgical team uses microsurgical precision to reconnect tubal segments or remove scar tissue.
