A member asked:

I just had lap for ectopic and my r tube was removed. dr said the l tube looked great on the outside will outer usually look bad if scars r on inside?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not necessarily: The integrity of the tube or the patency (is it open) cannot always be determined by what it looks like from the outside. Ask your doctor about a hysterosalpingogram (hsg) to check the status of the tube.
