Pregnancy without fallopian tubes

Salpingectomy is the process by which one or both fallopian tubes are removed. In this case, natural fertilization cannot take place. However, women with a salpingectomy can become pregnant thanks to assisted reproductive treatments.

Specifically, in vitro fertilization (IVF) would be the fertility technique indicated for women who do not have fallopian tubes. In this way, fertilization takes place in the laboratory and the embryos obtained are transferred directly into the woman's uterus, without the need for fallopian tubes.
