Boosting Fertility Through Fimbrioplasty Midwest Fertility Center’s Surgical Expertise
When trying to conceive, many women are surprised to learn that their fertility struggles may stem from damage at the very end of their fallopian tubes specifically the fimbriae, the tiny, finger-like projections responsible for guiding the egg into the tube after ovulation. Damage or scarring in this area can block natural conception. But thanks to a specialized surgical procedure called fimbrioplasty, many women are reclaiming their fertility.
At Midwest Fertility Center, under the direction of Dr. Amos E. Madanes, fimbrioplasty is performed with precision and care, offering renewed hope to women who thought natural conception was no longer possible. With more than four decades of experience in reproductive surgery, Midwest Fertility Center stands out as a trusted destination for women across the Midwest seeking fertility restoration without the immediate need for IVF.
What Is Fimbrioplasty?
Fimbrioplasty is a fertility-enhancing surgery that repairs the fimbrial end of the fallopian tubes. These structures are essential for picking up the egg during ovulation. When they are damaged due to infection, surgery, or pelvic conditions like endometriosis, the fimbriae may become stuck together or lose their ability to function leading to infertility or ectopic pregnancy risks.
During fimbrioplasty, a reproductive surgeon:
- Removes scar tissue or adhesions
- Reopens the fimbrial end of the tube
- Restores the natural sweeping function of the fimbriae
This restoration allows the fallopian tube to function normally, increasing the chance of natural conception without assisted reproductive technology.
Who Needs Fimbrioplasty?
Fimbrioplasty is ideal for women who:
- Have been diagnosed with distal tubal blockage or fimbrial agglutination
- Have a history of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
- Have had previous ectopic pregnancies or tubal surgeries
- Have endometriosis-related tubal damage
- Want to pursue natural pregnancy before considering IVF
This procedure may be recommended after a hysterosalpingogram (HSG) or laparoscopy confirms damage near the fimbrial end of the tube.
Midwest Fertility Center’s Expertise in Fimbrioplasty
At Midwest Fertility Center (MFC) patients receive expert care from Dr. Amos E. Madanes, a pioneer in reproductive surgery and fertility treatment. His reputation for surgical excellence and innovative approaches to restoring fertility has drawn patients from across Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, and beyond.
Dr. Amos E. Madanes: A Leader in Reproductive Surgery
With over 40 years of experience, Dr. Madanes is known for developing advanced fertility procedures and achieving exceptional outcomes. He was the first in the U.S. to perform a non-surgical intra-tubal insemination resulting in pregnancy, and he continues to lead the field in laparoscopic fertility treatments, including fimbrioplasty.
Minimally Invasive Techniques
MFC uses laparoscopic (minimally invasive) techniques for fimbrioplasty, allowing for:
- Smaller incisions
- Shorter recovery time
- Minimal pain
- Reduced risk of complications
Most patients return to normal activity within 1–2 weeks, and the procedure is typically done on an outpatient basis.
Transparent and Affordable Care
MFC is committed to affordable fertility solutions. While many clinics push IVF as the only option, MFC offers surgical treatments like fimbrioplasty that may allow women to conceive naturally and affordably. The team will also help explore insurance coverage and financing options, making fertility care accessible for more families.

Many women who believed they could only conceive through IVF have become mothers naturally after fimbrioplasty at MFC.
