Abstract

Infertility is an issue that affects people all over the world. It is defined as the inability to conceive a child following a period of a year of consistent, unprotected sexual activity. Infertility can have a variety of causes, some of which are linked to male issues while others are related to female factors. One of the most prevalent causes of infertility in women is a blockage of the fallopian tubes. Infertility was initially treated with fluoroscopic fallopian tube recanalization in 1985. Over a hundred studies have been published since then detailing different techniques for recanalizing blocked fallopian tubes. Methods of fallopian tube recanalization for the treatment of infertility were the focus of this research. In conclusion, recanalization of the fallopian tubes is an outpatient operation characterized by a low risk of complications and a short recovery time. For women with a blocked fallopian tube at its proximal end, this treatment option should be their first choice.
