Tubal Reversal - Tubal Ligation Reversal

This tubal reversal procedure has the highest success rates throughout the world. Examine our weekly pregnancy reports and pregnancy statistics.

Any doctor can say that he has a high success rate. There is only one way to truly know what the success after tubal reversal surgery is - and that is by documenting pregnancy and birth rates. This requires long term patient follow-up.

Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center has an ongoing follow-up system that records the outcomes of every reversal procedure and provides the results for all to see. We are the only medical facility that does this!!

Women come from across the US and abroad to Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center for their tubal reversal procedures. Patients have come from all 50 states and from over 30 countries. They travel this far to get the best treatment and results. Being able to have a another baby is that important! An added bonus is that even with travel included, it costs less to go to the best tubal reversal doctor than if they had their local doctor try to perform a reversal operation.

Each patient puts a pin in either a US map or a world map located in the Recovery Room to show where they live.

Tubal reversal surgery traditionally has been a major operation with several days of recovery in a hospital due to postoperative pain and disability. These can be avoided.

Postoperative pain following abdominal surgery comes mainly from muscle and connective tissue injury. Abdominal retractors (metal instruments that pull back on the skin, connective tissues, and muscles) are traditionally used to give wide exposure to the pelvic organs during surgery. Pressure from abdominal retractors causes reduced blood flow to the retracted tissues, resulting in postoperative pain. The operation is best performed without retractors.

Surgical packs (large gauze pads) traditionally are placed into the abdomen to push the intestines away from the pelvic organs during surgery. Packs cause postoperative bloating due to intestinal irritation. These can be avoided also.

Injecting a local anesthetic where surgery is performed - even though the patient is asleep during the procedure - further minimizes postoperative pain. (This is called preemptive analgesia.)

These are some of the ways I make tubal reversal surgery comfortable for patients. Making surgery comfortable improves recovery, avoids the need for hospitalization, and results in a low cost tubal reversal procedure.

Our follow-up pregnancy statistics from over 5000 tubal reversal patients show that tubal reversal is more successful than IVF. This is because once the tubes are repaired, there is a chance every month of conceiving naturally. The pregnancy rate is higher after tubal reversal than IVF for women in all age groups. And the cost is much less than a single IVF treatment cycle.
