Laparoscopic creation of anastomosis of the fallopian tube.
Professor Puchkov K.V. is performing an operation (2017).
The video demonstrates the technique of laparoscopic creation of the «end-to-end» anastomosis of the left fallopian tube after sterilization. The patient underwent ligation of the single uterine tube at caesarean section in 2012. Surgical intervention was performed at the insistent request of the patient due to the impossibility of IVF on religious grounds. At the first stage, hysteroscopy was performed, in which the uterine cavity and the proximal part of the left fallopian tube were found to be satisfactory. Further, during laparoscopy, a stump of a tube about 2 cm long and a defect of a wall about 1.5 cm was revealed. Single planar adhesions around the tube, fimbria was absolutely free. Tubal stumps are dissected with sharp endoscopic scissors. When checking the functionality of the distal tube, free flow of contrast into the abdominal cavity is noted. An «end to end» anastomosis was created with interrupted sutures with atraumatic Polysorb 5/0 thread without taking of the mucous membrane. Next, excised retrocervical invasive endometriosis from sacral ligaments. The operation time is 55 minutes.
1 year after surgery, the patient reported about 16 week uterine pregnancy.
