TUBAL
REVERSAL SURGERY
Tubal ligation (informally known as
getting one's "tubes tied") is a permanent form of female
sterilization, in which the fallopian tubes are severed and sealed or
"pinched shut", in order to prevent fertilization. Hormone production,
libido, and the menstrual cycle can be affected by a tubal ligation.
Generally tubal ligation procedures
are done with the intention to be permanent, and most patients are
satisfied with their sterilizations. Tubal reversal is microsurgery to
repair the fallopian tube after a tubal ligation procedure.
Usually there are two remaining fallopian tube segments - the proximal
tubal segment that emerges from the uterus and the distal tubal segment
that ends with the fimbria next to the ovary. The procedure that
connects these separated parts of the fallopian tube is called tubal
reversal or microsurgical tubotubal anastomosis.
In a small percentage of cases, a tubal ligation procedure leaves
only the distal portion of the fallopian tube and no proximal tubal
opening into the uterus. This may occur when monopolar tubal coagulation
has been applied to the isthmic segment of the fallopian tube as it
emerges from the uterus. In this situation, a new opening can be created
through the uterine muscle and the remaining tubal segment inserted into
the uterine cavity. This microsurgical procedure is called tubal
implantation, tubouterine implantation, or uterotubal implantation.
Tubal reversal, if done by a specialist microsurgeon, has a high
success rate and few complications. Successful repair of the fallopian
tubes is now possible in 98% of women who have had a tubal ligation,
regardless of the type of sterilization procedure.
IVF in vitro fertilization may overcome fertility problems in patients
not suited to a tubal reversal.

'Heatherlee', a member of the Tubal Reversal Message Board, reports a positive pregnancy test following tubal reanstomosis surgery. Women who want to get pregnant after a tubal ligation have two treatment options: tubal ligation reversal or in vitro fertilization (IVF). The chances of getting pregnant after tubal reversal continue each month following the surgery. As a result of a chance of becoming pregnant each month, the pregnancy rate after tubal reversal continues to increase over time and more than one pregnancy and birth can result from a sterilization reversal procedure.
