Dr. B. S. Bhalla	Tubal recanalization is a procedure used to reopen blocked fallopian tubes, which can help restore fertility. Here are the key details about the procedure, including risks, potential complications, duration, and hospitalization requirements: Risks and Potential Complications Infection: There's a risk of infection after the procedure, which may require antibiotic treatment. Bleeding: Minor bleeding can occur during or after the procedure. Tubal Damage: There is a risk of damaging the fallopian tubes, which could potentially affect future fertility. Ectopic Pregnancy: There's an increased risk of ectopic pregnancy (where the fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, usually in the fallopian tube) after the procedure. Re-blockage: The fallopian tubes might become blocked again over time. Adhesions: Scar tissue could form, leading to adhesions that might impact the function of the tubes or surrounding organs. Duration of the Procedure Procedure Time: Tubal recanalization usually takes about 30 minutes to an hour to complete. Recovery Time: Patients can typically return to normal activities within a few days. Hospitalization Requirements Outpatient Procedure: Tubal recanalization is often performed as an outpatient procedure, meaning you can go home the same day. Anesthesia: Local anesthesia or mild sedation is typically used, depending on the specifics of the procedure and patient comfort. Observation: After the procedure, you might be observed for a few hours before being discharged to ensure there are no immediate complications.
