Mine was done because it was tied so close to my uterus, but I had over 6cm of the rest of the tube. So Dr. M opened up a hole and inserted the other open part of my tube. I now have 6cm on the right side implanted and 4.5cm on the left corrected the normal way. I am in the 2WW, so we will see. [Smile]

A brief explanation for those unfamiliar with how a tubal implantation is performed. "A tubal implantation is performed by making an incision through the uterine muscle. The incision is carried down into the uterine cavity. The tubal segment that has been separated from the uterus is opened and passed down until its proximal end is inside the uterine cavity. Before implanting the tube in the uterus, a suture is placed through the open end that goes inside the uterus. This suture is used to anchor the fallopian tube within the uterine cavity.
When the tube has been anchored inside the uterine cavity, sutures are placed in the uterine muscle around the implanted tube. Care must be taken to close the uterine incision sufficiently to allow healing, but not so tightly that it compresses or constricts the implanted tube."
