Possible: The tube that was removed is not likely to ever be repaired. The other tube on the other had may be put back together via a procedure called "tubal reanastamosis". You can also get pregnant by undergoing in vitro fertilization.

Probably not: There is always a certain failure rate with any form of tubal ligation; but if done well and having an additional part removed with your last surgery for the cyst, i would think that the odds are extremely low. Actually, I am not sure why he told you this and if there was a concern, why did they not remove the remaining tube. Hope this helps.

Unknown : Unclear what was done. Your surgeon is the best guide. Only he knows are your fallopian tubes patent or not. If you had tubal ligation it is unlikely you will get pregnant unless you have artificial implantation or reversal of previous surgery.
