RIXIMKA DUMARKA The Fallopian tubes, also known as, uterine tubes, and salpinges (singular salpinx), are two very fine tubes lined with ciliated epithelia, leading from the ovaries of female mammals into the uterus, via the uterotubal junction. In non-mammalian vertebrates, the equivalent structures are called oviducts.

Tubal ligation For other uses, see hysterectomy. Tubal ligation or tubectomy (also known as having one's tubes tied) is a surgical procedure for sterilization in which a woman's fallopian tubes are clamped and blocked or severed and sealed, either of which prevents eggs from reaching the uterus for implantation.

Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer: GIFT Patients must first have an x-ray to determine the presence of at least one healthy fallopian tube. 1  The doctor will also use a laparoscope to ensure that there is not any scar tissue on the outside of the fallopian tube. 2  Using a laparoscope, eggs are then retrieved from the ovaries.

- ectopic pregnancy Pregnancy occurring outside of the uterine cavity, most commonly in the Fallopian tube. Fallopian tube A conduit allowing passage of egg from ovary to exit the abdominal cavity to enter the uterus; the site of fertilization in humans.

- A hysterosalpingogram (HSG) is an X-ray test that looks at the inside of the uterus and fallopian tubes and the area around them. It often is done for women who are having a hard time becoming pregnant (infertile).

Fallopian Tube Disorders The tube, which connects the peritoneal space to the endometrial cavity, captures the egg after ovulation and transports the sperm from the uterus to the fertilization site in the ampulla (the middle portion of the tube).

Fallopian tube There are two Fallopian tubes attached to either side of the end of the uterus. Each tube will end near one ovary. This place is called the fimbria. The Fallopian tubes are not attached to the ovaries, but open into the peritoneal cavity.

Oviduct The oviduct is also known as the fallopian or uterine tube. It is the passageway through which the ovum passes from the ovary to the uterine cavity.The oviducts are part of the genital tract. They have a wall of smooth muscle, an inner mucosal lining and an outer layer of loose supporting tissue (serosa).he oviduct is also known as the fallopian or uterine tube. It is the passageway through which the ovum passes from the ovary to the uterine cavity.

Hydrosalpinx The blocked tubes cause infertility. A fallopian tube filled with blood is a hematosalpinx, and with pus a pyosalpinx. Hydrosalpinx is a composite of the Greek words ὕδωρ (hydōr - water) and σάλπιγξ (sálpinx - trumpet); its plural is hydrosalpinges.

Hysterosalpingogram - HSG - fertility test for tubal patency and normalcy of the uterine cavity Hysterosalpingogram - HSG - fertility test for tubal patency and normalcy of the uterine cavity. Page author Richard Sherbahn MD. A hysterosalpingogram, or HSG is an important test of female fertility potential. The HSG test is a radiology procedure usually done in the radiology department of a hospital or outpatient radiology facility. This shows whether the fallopian tubes are open or blocked and whether a blockage is at the junction of the tube and uterus (proximal) or at the other end of the tube (distal).

Fallopian Tube Anatomy Sperm enter the fallopian tube through the uterus, and eggs enter from the ovarian or fimbrial end of the tube. When the fallopian tubes are blocked, sperm and eggs are kept apart and fertilization is prevented. Ligation means to apply a ligature or tie, and tubal ligation is often called “tying” the tubes.

Hydrosalpinx - Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment Hydrosalpinx - Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment. A hydrosalpinx is a descriptive term and refers to a fluid filled dilatation of the fallopian tube. The condition can be bilateral or uniateral, and the affected tubes may reach several centimeters in diameter. The blocked tube causes infertility, while incomplete blockage or adhesions often lead to tubal pregnancy. Hydrosalpinx causes.

Tubal Ligation Cost A tubal ligation is surgical sterilization in which the fallopian tubes are cut, tied or blocked, for women who are looking for a permanent form of birth control.

Video: HSG test for female infertility Blocked fallopian tubes or an abnormal uterine cavity may cause infertility. Hysterosalpingography, or HSG, is an X-ray test to outline the internal shape of the uterus and show whether the fallopian tubes are blocked. In HSG, a thin tube is threaded through the vagina and cervix. A substance known as contrast material is injected into the uterus.

Fallopian tube When an ovum is ready to be released from the ovary, the ovary wall breaks open and the ovum goes into the fallopian tube. There, it starts moving towards to uterus with the help of liquids and cilia on the inside walls. This can take hours or days.

Reproductive System There are two fallopian tubes, each attached to a side of the uterus. The fallopian tubes are about 4 inches (10 centimeters) long and about as wide as a piece of spaghetti. Within each tube is a tiny passageway no wider than a sewing needle.

- Tubal ligation, or getting one's tubes tied, refers to female sterilization, the surgery that ends a woman's ability to conceive. The operation is performed on the patient's fallopian tubes. These tubes, which are about 4 in (10 cm) long and 0.2 in (0.5 cm) in diameter, are found on the upper outer sides of the uterus.

-   fallopian tubes In the human body, fertilization of egg cells occur in the oviduct (also called the fallopian tube) of the female's reproductive system.s the egg travels travel down,  the sperm cells are released from the oviduct wall and continue  their journey to the egg. The long and short of it is that  fertilization finally occurs in the ampula or wider section of the  oviduct closer to the ovary.

- Hysterosalpingogram (HSG): A hysterosalpingogram imaging test that is used to examine the cavity of the uterus and Fallopian tubes. In a hysterosalpingogram, dye (called contrast material) is injected through a tube inserted through the vaginal into the uterus. A series of x-ray pictures are taken as the dye moves through the uterine cavity and out through the Fallopian tubes.

Fallopian tube Fallopian tube cancer, which typically arises from the epithelial lining of the Fallopian tube, has historically been considered to be a very rare malignancy. Recent evidence suggests it probably represents a significant portion of what has been classified as ovarian cancer in the past.
