A member asked:
How successful is fallopian tube repair? i have two blocked tubes due to previous infection
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Fairly obsolete: Fallopian tube repair was unfortunately complicated by poor fertility recovery and high ectopic pregnancy rate. When ivf became available in the 1980's, it was found to be far more effective to assist fertility. It also depends which part of your tubes are blocked. I would discuss with your OB gyn.

Not very: While fallopian tube repair after sterilization can have a high success rate in some cases, success rates are much lower if the tubes are blocked as a result of infection - so much so that most if not all infertility physicians would reccomend ivf rather than trying to repair them.
