 Fallopian Tube Carcinoma
Primary carcinoma of the fallopian tube is the rarest cancer of the female genital tract with an incidence of 0.5% of all gynecologic tumors.
Surgery was the initial therapy for all patients.
The Dodson modification of the FIGO surgical staging as it applies to carcinoma of the fallopian tube was utilized.

 Fallopian Tube
Activation of the receptors by raised progesterone level in the luteal phase leads to relaxation of the circular muscles; thus, the isthmic luminal diameter is increased and transisthmic passage of the fertilized ovum is facilitated.
Salpingectomy: Performed in a patient in whom a tube is thought to be nonsalvagable or a patient who does not desire future conception.
Tubal carcinoma is the rarest genital cancer, represented about 0.3% of all genital malignancy, and the age of incidence is 40-60 years.

 eMedicine - Fallopian Tube Reconstruction : Article by Krystene I Boyle, MD
Relevant Anatomy: The fallopian tubes are seromuscular paired tubular organs that run medially from the ovaries to the cornua of the uterus.
Fallopian tube reconstruction has been the traditional method of restoring reproductive function to women with tubal infertility.
Over time, a better understanding of fallopian tube physiology, advances in perioperative care, and improvements in surgical techniques have resulted in better outcomes.

 Fallopian tube procedures for infertility - Quest Diagnostics Patient Health Library
Ask your doctor for his or her success rates (birth of a healthy baby), as well as national success rates, for any procedure you are considering.
The success of a sterilization reversal is influenced by the tubal ligation method used, how recently the tubal ligation was performed, and the woman's age-related fertility.
These blockages often are functional (such as a mucus plug) rather than structural (such as scarring or other obstruction).

 Your Fallopian Tube Recanalization
The results of this new procedure are encouraging; fallopian tube recanalization has been successful in a large percentage of patients undergoing the exam.
Other times, the doctor will manipulate the catheters and wires to try to pass the blockage.
We are excited about helping you and hope this information will address any questions or concerns you may have.

 CancerWise - CancerWise - May04 - FS - Q&A: What to Know About Fallopian Tube Cancer
Although rare gynecologic cancers — such as fallopian tube cancer — do not occur often, it benefits all women to be aware that they exist and to learn the facts.
A staging procedure is performed during the surgery, which samples specific areas to see if any cancer has spread.
Nearly all patients will need additional treatment after surgery, usually in the form of chemotherapy.

In this situation, gross microscopic analysis of surgical specimens reveals no anatomic occlusion in as many as 50 percent of fallopian tubes resected for proximal obstruction.
The contrast medium outlines the uterine cavity, demonstrating its shape and position and the presence of any filling defects.
The three most commonly encountered causes of infertility are fallopian tube disorders (15 to 20 percent), seminal insufficiency (15 percent) and ovulation disorders (15 to 20 percent).

 Fallopian-Tube Cancer
In most cases, women don't learn that they have fallopian tube cancer until a fallopian tube has been removed surgically to treat another illness or problem and is examined in a laboratory.
Because fallopian tube cancer is so rare, and its symptoms can be similar to the symptoms of other problems, your doctor may suspect that you have some other gynecological problem.
These conditions have symptoms similar to fallopian tube cancer and are more common than fallopian tube cancer.

 Can I conceive if only one fallopian tube is alright? - Pregnancy/birth - DoctorNDTV
In fact surgery on the damaged tube may actually increase your chances of getting an ectopic (tubal)pregnancy.
Should doctors who take money for referring patients be banned from practising medicine?
Anyway to answer your query pointedly: if you have one tube which is ok there is no reason to get surgery done.

 Stanford Cancer Center - Fallopian Tube Cancer Cancer Types Stanford Cancer Center
The vast majority of fallopian tube cancers are believed to have originated in other gynecological organs such as the endometrium or ovaries.
Physicians at the Stanford Cancer Center have experience treating women with fallopian tube cancer, and even run clinical trials aimed at finding better medicines such as thalidomide and oral navelbine.
In addition, because fallopian tube cancer can be caused by genetic alterations it can be useful for patients and their families to be evaluated by a genetic counselor, even if there is currently no known family information about BRCA mutations.

 Chapter 31: Fallopian Tube
Staging for fallopian tube is by the surgical pathologic system.
Clinical studies, if carcinoma of the tube is diagnosed, include routine radiography of chest.
Carcinoma in situ of the fallopian tube is a defined entity; therefore, it is included in the staging under stage 0.

 DISORDERS OF THE FALLOPIAN TUBE
No medical therapy is known as yet to correct damaged fallopian tubes.
However, whenever the blockage of the tube is a result of pelvic infection then surgical correction may not be possible.
The fallopian tubes are surgically severed and the ends sewn up to prevent pregnancy.

 Fallopian tube - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Embryos have two pairs of ducts to let gametes out of the body; one pair develops in females into the Fallopian tubes, uterus and vagina, while the other pair develops in males into the epididymis and vas deferens.
The Fallopian tubes are not homologous to the vas deferens or any other structure in males.
Normally, only one of the pair of tubes will develop while the other regresses and disappears in utero.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallopian_tube

  
 Fallopian Tube Blockage
Again resection with laparoscopic anastomosis is an effective form of treatment.
If this is not successful, a catheter, very much like that used for heart surgery, is threaded into the fallopian tube to release the blockage.
Blockage of the fallopian tube near the uterine end can be relieved by state of the art procedures available at the center.
http://www.reproductivecenter.com/blockage.html

  
 Ovarian and Fallopian Tube Cancers
It is more common for cancer to spread to a fallopian tube from elsewhere in the body (usually the ovary or endometrium) than for a new cancer to develop in the fallopian tube.
Primary carcinoma of the fallopian tube is very rare, comprising only 1-2% of all gynecologic cancers.
Fallopian tube cancer starts within the fallopian tubes, a pair of ducts that transport eggs from ovary to uterus.

 American Family Physician: Selective fallopian tube canalization.@ HighBeam Research
The most common causes are fallopian tube disorders (between 15 and 20 percent); problems related to semen (another 15 percent); and ovulation disorders (between 15 and 20 percent).
Infertility, defined as the inability of a couple to conceive after one year of unprotected intercourse, affects 15 percent of the married couples in the US.
A technique is described for opening blocked fallopian tubes; it is known as selective fallopian tube canalization.
http://www.highbeam.com/library/doc0.asp?DOCID=1G1:10592425&refid=ip_encyclopedia_hf

  
 RE: fallopian tube blockages
Mainly the problem has to do with the specialized structures of the fallopian tubes, and how they function.
That is, the cells making up the different sections of the tube change how they behave, depending on the presence and amounts of female hormones which keep changing during the 28-day cycles that produces ovulation.
If medical science was able to come up with heart bypass surgery, why have they not tried to use a similar method to 'bypass' blocked tubes of woman who want to become pregnant?

 Endometriosis and Fallopian Tubes, Effects on Pregnancy, Conception
The fallopian tubes can be damaged by diseases such as endometriosis and pelvic inflammatory disease, as well as by infections and sexually transmitted diseases.
Sometimes, the tubes may be blocked or they may be scarred as a result of disease or infection.
If you have problems with your fallopian tubes, your doctor may recommend surgery to correct the damage or open the tubes.

I know that hte situations are different but I thought you may like to know that having 1 tube does not mean that you will not pg.
I was worried about having the tube removed but it meant that if I did fall pg again it would be less likely to be eptopic.
My theory is that if it is damaged and unlikely to aid you then removal is proabably your best bet.
