Fimbriectomy Tubal Ligation Method

Fimbriectomy differs from other methods of tubal ligation. Fimbriectomy is performed by removing the fimbrial and infundibular portions of the fallopian tube next to the ovary, leaving behind one tubal segment attached to the uterus. A tubal reversal is generally not possible and these patients should opt for IVF in order to conceive.

There are some physicians who still recommend tubal repair after a fimbriectomy, but because of the very high rate of ectopic pregnancies, Dr. Storment recommends IVF for these patients.
