Have you seen my tubal reversal lens on Squidoo.com? It has key information about tubal reversal. Here are some excerpts.
Tubal Reversal Success
There is just one way to 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. Our ongoing follow-up system records the outcomes of every reversal procedure and provides the results for all to see. We are the only medical facility that does this! Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center publishes weekly pregnancy reports and pregnancy statistics that include pregnancy rates and pregnancy outcomes for my patients.
Making Surgery Comfortable for the Patient
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
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 after IVF for women iof all ages. Furthermore, the cost is much less than a single IVF treatment cycle.
