Chances of Pregnancy?

I recently experienced hospitalization for possible diagnosis of
diverticulitis (I'm aged 36). A gynecologist feels that I have acquired
hydrosalpinx (left side) as a result of the primary infection. Are my
chances of becoming pregnant diminished? The right fallopian tube was not
affected. I continue to experience pain on the left side and fever
(despite continued antibiotics - Flagyl & Cipro), and am scheduled for
further testing to confirm diagnosis.
Also, I will be undergoing a spinal laminectomy, decompression & fusion
(L5-S1) in a couple of months. After a fusion, could I still have an
epidural (if I can get pregnant)?
Thank you for your time and assistance!
