For a woman to get pregnant, the sperm needs to meet the egg. But what if the tube known as the fallopian tube, which helps in carrying the woman’s egg to her uterus, is blocked? That is when the problem of getting pregnant arises because the process of fertilization will not take place. That is when a fallopian tube recanalization is needed. What are the fallopian tubes?  Every month, a woman’s ovary releases an egg that travels down to the uterus where, if the egg meets the sperm and is fertilized, a baby will grow. This egg travels from the ovary to the uterus with the help of tubes known as the fallopian tubes. The sperm travels to the egg with the help of the fallopian tubes. These tubes play a very important role in the fertility of every woman. What is fallopian tube recanalization?  Since the traveling of eggs is done with the help of the fallopian tubes every month, any kind of blockage in these tubes will lead to a very hard time getting pregnant.

Ovarian cyst laparoscopic surgery is used to remove cysts from either of the ovaries from a woman’s body. It is also called ovarian cystectomy. A cyst is an abnormal growth in the ovary which is filled with liquid. The normal cysts do not cause any pain, but if they do, they need to be removed from the uterus with the help of laparoscopy. The cysts usually disappear from the uterus, and there is no need for an ovarian cyst laparoscopic surgery. The patient needs to remain watchful. She does not need to go for immediate treatment. If the cyst does not disappear even after four months, the woman needs to undergo an ovarian cyst laparoscopic surgery. If the cyst does not disappear, the patient undergoes surgery. However, the treatment depends on several factors. These are:

• > The size of the cyst.
• > The cyst is causing pain in the uterus.
• > There is a possibility that the cyst will cause cancer in the uterus.

Procedures for the cyst removal from the ovary:

There are two procedures for the removal of a cyst from the ovary.

Hysterectomy is the surgery of removing a woman’s uterus. It may also include the removal of other organs which surround the uterus. Various factors may lead to hysterectomy surgery. It includes:

• > Cancer in the uterus or other surrounding organs.
• > The abnormal bleeding in the vagina.
• > Fibroids, the tumors which develop inside the uterus.
• > Infection in the uterus and its surrounding organs.

Types of hysterectomy:

Depending on the removal of the partial or total uterus, there are three different types of hysterectomy:

1.      Partial hysterectomy:

In partial hysterectomy, the surgeon only removes the uterus, but the cervix remains intact. However, keeping the cervix retained increases the chance of cervical cancer. It is why this hysterectomy is not generally performed.

2.      Total hysterectomy:

In a total hysterectomy, the surgeon removes the whole uterus, including the cervix, from the woman’s body. Since the cervix is removed too in total hysterectomy, there is no chance of cervical cancer. It is why it’s preferre →
