Surgical procedures related to the cervix, along with an incompetent cervix, would not affect the fallopian tubes in terms of infertility. It would affect fertility issues related to the cervix as a result of potential scarring (conization) and an inability to maintain the pregnancy in the presence of an incompetent cervix. A history of pelvic surgical procedures could result in the development of pelvic adhesions, which would affect the fallopian tube. Also, the presence of STDs, even with effective treatment, along with the clinical diagnosis, would affect the fallopian tube and possibly result in infertility.
