What is the cost of minimally invasive fallopian tube unblocking surgery?

Among the causes of female infertility, fallopian tube obstruction is a relatively common factor. Currently, the most common way to solve fallopian tube blockage is to perform minimally invasive surgery to clear it. Although the effect is very good, the problem is that the cost has become the most concerned issue for patients. So, how much does minimally invasive surgery for fallopian tube unblocking cost? Let’s take a look at the related cost issues below.

The costs vary in different regions, hospital levels, and surgical methods for fallopian tube obstruction. However, the charges of regular hospitals are approved according to national price standards, so the cost of treating fallopian tube obstruction cannot be generalized. If the fallopian tubes become blocked due to lesions, it will cause infertility. Fallopian tube blockage is also one of the important causes of female infertility, accounting for about one-third of female infertility.

Experts say that there are many ways to treat fallopian tube infertility, and the costs of different methods are also different. The main examinations for treating fallopian tube infertility are:

1. Hysterosalpingography is currently the simplest and most reliable method to diagnose tubal infertility. X-rays show that the fallopian tubes are fully visualized and the fimbria are dilated. Delayed films 20 minutes later show residual shadows of both fallopian tubes, and there is no contrast agent diffusion in the pelvic cavity.

2. Laparoscopy can directly diagnose hydrosalpinx. Under laparoscopy, the adhesions of the fimbria and the surrounding area can be seen to determine the function of the fallopian tube. However, since the laparoscopic examination of hydrosalpinx is invasive and expensive, it is generally not used as the first choice of examination. It is mostly used for treatment after the diagnosis is confirmed by hysterosalpingography.

3. Ultrasound diagnosis: Some hydrosalpinx can be shown on ultrasound, but ultrasound can only indicate the presence of liquid dark areas and cannot ultimately confirm whether there is hydrosalpinx. It is usually shown in the acute phase of verification. Ultrasound shows irregular liquid dark areas on one or both sides of the uterus, which are sausage-shaped, and abnormal echoes can be seen in the tube.

The above is an introduction to the cost of minimally invasive surgery for fallopian tube clearance. I hope it will be helpful to everyone’s understanding. There are many factors that affect the cost of minimally invasive surgery for fallopian tube unblocking. Currently, the technology in this area is still quite advanced. In order to ensure the success rate of the operation, it is best to go to a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment. Do not limit treatment due to cost issues.
