Tubal Reversal
is a process for those women who would like to restore their fertility
in order to have more babies. This surgery, also known as tubal
ligation reversal, microsurgical tubal reanastomosis, and sterilization
reversal, is done by opening the previously blocked fallopian tube so
that the egg can be fertilized by the sperm. It is a very safe
procedure.
For tubal reversal surgery, different techniques are used in comparison to conventional surgery. Microsurgical reanastomosis (tubal reversal)
involves the use of very delicate suturing and high magnification. All
of these methods are used just to open the fallopian tube between the
uterus and ovary.
Tubal reversal has
been successful for over 30 years, and continues to be the best way to
achieve pregnancy after tubal ligation. The whole tubal reversal
procedure takes less than 2 hours. After a tubal reversal, pregnancy is
possible simply by having sex, and does not require in vitro
fertilization (IVF).
