Tubal Factor Infertility

By RRM Academy Reviewed by Dr. Naomi Whittaker, MD, Board-Certified OBGYN, MIGS, NFPMC, FCI Updated May 7, 2026

Infertility attributed to blocked, damaged, or functionally compromised fallopian tubes. Affects approximately 25 to 30% of women with infertility. Causes include prior pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), chlamydia, endometriosis, pelvic adhesions, or prior tubal surgery. RRM offers corrective surgical alternatives to IVF: fallopian tube recanalization for proximal blockage, tubo-tubal anastomosis for mid-segment disease, and neosalpingostomy/fimbrioplasty for distal disease.¹
