  • Incomplete or incorrect diagnosis of blockage
  • A tear in the wall of the fallopian tube.
  • Peritonitis, an extremely dangerous infection of the tissues in the abdomen area.

Generally, hysteroscopy is an outpatient procedure, which means in most cases the patient is allowed to leave on the same day. In case of polypectomy too, it is a day operation, but in some cases you may be required to stay overnight. It is a relatively short operation and you can start your routine activities within a day or two.


How is tubal cannulation performed and do I need to be hospitalized?

Tubal Cannulation does not require hospitalization, just like many other hysteroscopic procedures. You may consult your doctor about things such as time required to resume drinking water, eating and other routine activities.
