I would stongly recommend the counsel of a reproductive endocrinologist before having any more surgery. With current IVF technology, they will often recommend not correcting the tube(s) but rather go straight to IVF. The success rate is better than the potential for the surgical repair to work. At least have the conversation before having another surgery... Lynn
