Tubal Surgery in Nairobi — with Prof. Rafique Parkar
Reconstructive surgery to restore tubal patency and function.
Understanding tubal surgery
Tubal surgery repairs rather than removes — opening blocked tubes, freeing adhesions around the fimbriae and, in selected cases, reversing previous sterilisation.
Under magnification, adhesions are divided and the tubal ostium reconstructed with fine sutures and minimal energy, protecting the delicate ciliated lining.
Symptoms
When to seek expert care
- Blocked fallopian tubes
- Peritubal adhesions
- Fimbrial phimosis
- Sterilisation reversal
- Tubal factor infertility
Causes
What we currently understand
- Hormonal imbalance affecting the uterus, ovaries or endometrium
- Previous pelvic surgery, infection or inflammation
- Structural change within the uterus, tubes or ovaries
- Genetic and family predisposition
- Age-related and reproductive-stage changes
- In some cases, no single identifiable cause
Risk Factors
Who is most affected
- Family history of gynecologic disease
- Previous pelvic or abdominal surgery
- Untreated pelvic infection
- Delayed diagnosis of pelvic pain or abnormal bleeding
- Endometriosis or fibroids already diagnosed
- Obesity and metabolic factors
Diagnosis
A careful, layered workup
- Detailed history and pelvic examination
- Transvaginal and abdominal ultrasound
- MRI in complex or deep disease
- Blood tests including hormonal and tumour markers where relevant
- Diagnostic laparoscopy when imaging is inconclusive
- Fertility assessment when pregnancy is planned
A tailored plan — not a template.
Every option is discussed openly with you, with the risks, benefits and alternatives laid out clearly.
Myomectomy (Fibroid Removal)
Fibroids removed, uterus preserved.
Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
Removal of the uterus through keyhole access, not a large incision.
Ovarian Cyst Removal (Cystectomy)
The cyst removed, healthy ovarian tissue protected.
Oophorectomy (Ovary Removal)
Removal of an ovary when preservation is unsafe.
Salpingectomy (Fallopian Tube Removal)
Removal of a diseased or ruptured tube, often as an emergency.
Tubal Surgery
Reconstructive surgery to restore tubal patency and function.
Adhesiolysis (Removal of Pelvic Adhesions)
Freeing organs bound together by scar tissue.
Endometriosis Surgery
Excision — not ablation — of superficial and deep disease.
Fertility-Preserving Surgery
Every operation planned around the family you still want.
Small incisions. Real recovery.
Prof. Parkar pioneered laparoscopic gynecology in East Africa. Advanced keyhole and hysteroscopic techniques mean less pain, minimal scarring, and a faster return to life.
Discuss Your Options- Incisions of only 4–10mm, hidden along the navel and bikini line.
- Usually performed as a day-case or with a single overnight stay.
- High-definition optics magnify the surgical field for precise, tissue-sparing work.
- Fertility and ovarian reserve are protected wherever it is safe to do so.
Recovery
What to expect after treatment
- Day-case or one night; conception attempts usually permitted after the first cycle.
