Supportive Reproductive Surgical Options 

Reproductive surgery isn’t just about fixing a problem—it’s about opening doors and creating new possibilities. Minimally invasive procedures allow your specialist to identify anatomical challenges and, in many cases, treat them right away to improve your chances of conception. 

Common procedures include: 

• Hysteroscopy: Examines the uterine cavity for fibroids, polyps, or adhesions. 

• Laparoscopy: Gives a clear view of pelvic organs to remove endometriosis, fibroids, or repair fallopian tubes. 

• Laparotomy: Used for larger fibroids or more complex cases requiring open surgery. 

These procedures are designed with care in mind—smaller incisions, shorter recovery times, and faster returns to your daily life, all while optimizing your reproductive health. 

Conditions That May Require Reproductive Surgery 

Your specialist may recommend surgery based on testing or symptoms. Some common conditions include: 

• Endometriosis: Laparoscopy removes endometrial tissue to reduce pain and support ovarian function. 

• Fibroids: Removed depending on size and location via hysteroscopy, laparoscopy, or laparotomy. 

• Uterine Adhesions: Treated with hysteroscopy to improve uterine shape and function. 

• Hydrosalpinx: Swollen fallopian tubes may be repaired or removed before IVF to improve outcomes. 

Reproductive Surgery for Individuals with Male Reproductive Systems 

Reproductive care is inclusive of all genders, and surgical options exist to address male reproductive challenges as well: 

• Vasectomy Reversal: Restores sperm flow for those hoping to conceive after a vasectomy. 

• Testicular Biopsy: Offers insight into sperm production to guide treatment decisions. 

Every recommendation is guided by expertise, compassion, and a commitment to helping you feel informed and supported. 

FAQs 

How do I know if I need reproductive surgery? 

Surgery is considered only after a full evaluation by an experienced and board-certified reproductive endocrinologist. Imaging or testing that shows fibroids, scar tissue, or tubal blockages may lead your specialist to discuss surgical options that can improve fertility outcomes. 

What is recovery like after minimally invasive surgery? 

Most patients return to light activities within a few days, with full recovery typically in a few weeks. Your care team will provide personalized guidance on rest, medication, and activity to support healing. 

Can reproductive surgery improve IVF outcomes? 

Yes, usually. Addressing conditions like hydrosalpinx, uterine adhesions, or fibroids before IVF can improve implantation and pregnancy success rates, according to the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM).*
