Infertility surgery

Some difficulties in conceiving have an anatomical cause that can be treated surgically: polyps or septa of the uterine cavity, fibroids distorting the cavity, pelvic adhesions, damage to the fallopian tubes, ovarian cysts or endometriosis. Infertility surgery aims to correct these abnormalities in order to restore the best possible conditions for pregnancy. The procedures are performed using minimally invasive techniques: operative hysteroscopy treats abnormalities of the uterine cavity through the natural passages, without any incision; laparoscopy explores and treats the tubes, the ovaries and the pelvis through small incisions. These precise procedures respect the tissues as much as possible, an essential condition for preserving fertility. Surgery is always part of a complete fertility work-up for the couple, carried out with the gynecologist. Depending on the situation, it may be enough to allow a natural pregnancy or may optimally prepare for assisted reproductive treatment. At Clinique Pasteur Tunis, the gynecological surgeons support couples with attentiveness and discretion, explaining at each stage the expected benefits of surgery and its place in the overall pregnancy plan.
