Geminazione

Geminazione is a surgical procedure used to treat infertility, particularly in cases where a woman has only one fallopian tube. The procedure involves creating a new fallopian tube by connecting a portion of the uterus to the ovary, allowing for the development of a new tube. This new tube can then be used for fertilization and the implantation of an embryo.

The procedure is typically performed laparoscopically, which involves making small incisions in the abdomen and using a laparoscope to visualize and perform the surgery. The surgeon will then connect the uterine tissue to the ovary, creating a new fallopian tube. The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia.

Geminazione is a relatively new procedure, first described in the medical literature in 2002. It has since been used in a number of cases, with varying degrees of success. Some studies have suggested that the procedure may be more successful in younger women, as the uterine tissue used to create the new tube may be more resilient.

The procedure carries some risks, including infection, bleeding, and damage to other organs. As with any surgical procedure, it is important for patients to discuss the potential risks and benefits with their healthcare provider before undergoing geminazione.
