What Is Outpatient Tubal Reversal?
Tubal reversal (tubal anastomosis) is a surgical procedure that restores the anatomy and function of fallopian tubes that have been previously ligated for sterilization. When tubal reversal is performed by an experienced reproductive endocrinologist such as at IVF New Jersey, tubal patency can be achieved in 80 percent of women, with pregnancy rates in excess of 70 percent. It is important that patients considering the tubal reversal option be specifically counseled regarding their individual likelihood of success. In vitro fertilization and egg donation may potentially be better options than tubal reversal in certain couples, particularly in women over forty years of age.
