What are the success rates for tubal reversal? Is it better to just undergo IVF?
Tubal anastomosis, the reversal of a tubal ligation, is a delicate procedure and success depends on a number of factors. The age of the woman and the method used in the initial operation are the primary factors that will determine candidacy. For women under the age of 35 with the majority of their tubes still intact, reversal may be a very good option. If the woman is over the age of 35, if large sections of the tubes have been removed, or if male infertility is a factor, in vitro fertilization is generally recommended instead. Read Dr.
