Before choosing a specific surgical procedure, the hysterosalpingogram is needed to determine the location and extent of the fallopian tube lesions. Doctors need to find out whether it is a proximal or distal obstruction, and whether there is hydrops. Surgeries, including salpingostomy, salpingoplasty, salpingectomy and ligation, may be performed according to the patient's condition.

 

However, tubal ligation and resection are merely suitable for severe hydrosalpinx. If the tubal structures are seriously damaged, related surgeries may be not useful. Sometimes you need to bypass the fallopian tubes to get pregnant, then in vitro fertilization can be recommended.
