Michelle Emblenton, a biochemist at inviTRA, answers this question in the video:
Well, yes. On some occasions, surgery may be necessary to perform a fertility treatment. In the case of, for example, endometriosis or fibroids, the surgeon may decide to perform surgery before undergoing an IVF treatment. Tubal surgery (surgery of the fallopian tubes) is rarely performed because IVF doesn't involve fertilization in the fallopian tubes. However, in cases of hydrosalpynx (where there is fluid accumulating in the fallopian tubes) a salpingectomy, where the fallopian tubes are removed, may be recommended before the invitro fertilization because the liquid inside the tubes can actually hinder the development of the embryo. Therefore, having this surgery before will in increase your chances of that positive pregnancy.
