Lots...: First of mall ivf bypasses the fallopian tubes, helps with fertilization and allows you to choose the best egg/embryo. Anything that damages one tube often can damage the other. So an open tube does not always work, and a tube that looks ok next to a damaged tube may not really be ok. So ivf is very helpful.

I just did an HSG, fallopian tubes were blocked and Dr unblocked them during the HSG. Can Fallopian tubes get blocked again after successful HSG? And how soon can they get blocked again? What would cause the blockage if I dont have PID?
