Tubal Reversal

Tubal reversal restores fertility after a tubal ligation. This is surprising to most people who think that tubal ligation is permanent. In fact, tubal ligation is reversible in almost all cases.

Dr. Gary S. Berger specializes in tubal reversal surgery and is the Top Rated Doctor on this doctors ratings website. Here are some recent patient comments:

"Dr. Berger is an amazing surgeon. He truly emphasizes your care and comfort throughout the surgical procedure. The supporting staff is a gentle and nurturing one; very compassionate and in tune to making the experience a relaxed one. I came all the way from California to see Dr. B and both my husband and I felt welcomed and treated with courtesy and respect the entire time we were there. I have had excellent contact by phone, always prompt and friendly, since I came back home. I feel blessed to have a second chance. Thank you Dr. B and thank you CHTRC staff! You're the best!"

"Dr. Berger and his staff were awesome!!!! They were extremely kind and patient, very approachable, and every detail of my surgery and recovery were explained. I only needed pain medication the first night following my surgery and I was able to resume my normal activities the next day. I would highly recommend Dr. Berger to everyone considering tubal reversal surgery. God has granted him the power to make miracles happen." Shelia TR 06/08/07

"The care I received from Dr. Berger was phenomenal. It was the most professional and compassionate medical experience I have ever had. The follow up care has been just as impressive even now, over a year and a half later. Dr. Berger is the best choice a couple could possibly make." Julia and Kevin Disorda - Vermont

"Dr. Berger and his staff are just amazing, not only as people but at the work they do. I traveled from California to see Dr. Berger and could not be happier with my decision. I was so pleased with how fast my recovery was and that I had no pain after the surgery. Dr. Berger and staff are there for you whenever you need them, and will make you feel as if you are family." Sharon Lincoln - California

"I had a TL in '05. Two weeks before my menses I would get terrible leg cramps, severe mood swings, and very depressed. When my menses would arrive I would be in severe pain. I did some research and found about PTLS. Dr. Berger did my TR Feb '07. I was amazed even after the surgery I didn't have to take many pain relievers. My periods are shorter and the pain is almost non existent." Mary Hill Mount Bethel, PA

Making Tubal Reversal Comfortable 

The Best Surgical And Anesthetic Techniques

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.

Tubal Reversal or IVF 

Which Treatment is Better?

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.

SILVIA - In all probability, your tubal ligation can be reversed. Most infertility doctors perform IVF and promote it as the only option. If you would like to send me a copy of the operative report of your tubal ligation, I can let you know if it is reversible. One advantage of tubal reversal at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center is that it costs half or less than an IVF treatment cycle. Go to the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal website and see the Medical Records Release Form for assistance in getting a copy of your tubal ligation operative report sent to me.

I was 22 going thru a divorce and having my second child all within 2 years. I thought I was just having my tubes tied which I was informed by my doctor should only be used to become permantly sterile. At that time in my life after dealing with post pardom depression I did agree. It is now 8 years later and after 5 years of marriage I would so love more children. However after looking at my medical records I relized my tubes were burnt, clipped, tied. I have spoken to and seen MANY clinics in the San Antonio area which state the only way to concieve is thru invitro which is so expensive. Not to mention the cost to see these doctors and be informed of the same result (which by the way none actually saw my operative report) .Is there no other way to become pregnant?

MARSHA - Your tubes can be repaired after being tied, cut, and burned 5 years ago.
The probability of becoming pregnant is dependent on your age. You can see the Pregnancy Rates after Tubal Reversal on the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center web site.

Sheila - The bands that you have in place have closed your fallopian tubes. In order to become pregnant again, you would need to have a tubal reversal procedure.

MELISSA - At age 28, you will have an excellent prognosis after tubal ligation reversal. You can have the operative report from Planned Parenthood sent to me to review. I have responded to your email message about this.
