    To check if the fallopian tubes are blocked or damaged, a laparoscopy will cost from $1,700 to $5,000. [17] If the fallopian tubes are blocked, there will be no fertilization and therefore, the egg and sperm cannot meet. If an individual wants to open up their fallopian tubes, a procedure called fallopian tube recanalization can be performed.
