Tubal Reversal Procedures
There are 3 types of tubal reversal procedures:
- anastomosis
- implantation – (this blog topic)
- salpingostomy
Implantation of Fallopian Tubes
Implantation of the fallopian tube is inserting the tube through a new opening into the uterus. Tubouterine implantation is correct medical terminology, but it is also called tubal implantation, uterotubal implantation, or uterine implantation.
Most tubal ligation operations leave two fallopian tube segments that can be reconnected. In some cases, only one tubal segment remains that is separated from the uterus and the portion of the tube within the uterine muscle is blocked as well. This is most likely to occur when a tubal ligation has been performed by monopolar tubal coagulation applied to the tubal segment next to the uterus. In this situation, tubal implantation is required as the tubal reversal procedure.
How I Perform Tubal Implantation
Tubal implantation is performed by making an incision through the uterine muscle. The incision is carried down into the uterine cavity. The tubal segment that has been separated from the uterus is opened and passed down until its proximal end is inside the uterine cavity. Before implanting the tube in the uterus, a suture is placed through the open end that goes inside the uterus. This suture is used to anchor the fallopian tube within the uterine cavity.
When the tube has been anchored inside the uterine cavity, sutures are placed in the uterine muscle around the implanted tube. Care must be taken to close the uterine incision sufficiently to allow healing, but not so tightly that it compresses or constricts the implanted tube. Tubal implantation is a more difficult operation to perform than tubal anastomosis. Tubal implantation accounts for 1% of tubal reversal procedures at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center.

[...] One of today’s patients at Chapel Hill Surgical Center was a woman in her thirties who recently become married and had a tubal ligation at age 24 years when she had no children. Her tubal ligation had been performed by a tubal coagulation procedure in which the fallopian tubes were burned at the junction of her uterus. The tubal lumen or opening within the uterine wall was scarred completely on both the right and left sides from the burning procedure. Therefore, the only way to perform a tubal reversal was through the technique of tubouterine implantation. [...]

I had the essure procedure performed in 2006. Right after the procedure I developed a very bad infection and had constant abdominal pain. I told the doctor that performed the procedure and he kept telling me it didnt have anything to do with the coils in my tubes. I often have a stabbing pain in my lower abdomen on both sides. My menstruals have become irregular and very heavy. I want the Essure coils out asap!

Stephanie Green – Finding another doctor who will be concerned about your pain is a good idea. At least you are aware now that Essure removal is possible.

Does insurance pay for this procedure and if not how much does this cost? I had the essure put in about 10 months ago and been having irregular periods and painful cramps.

Insurance will not pay for Essure reversal. You should call the office at (919) 968-4656 but the cost for Essure reversal is about $6,500 at our facility and the cost for Essure removal is less.

Just had my tubes tied on May 7, 2011 to ensure I had no more unplanned pregnancies. I feel like I now made a poor choice. How & is it possible to get a reversal? I have had 2 cesareans as of 5/7/11. Will I be putting myself in harms way trying to reverse the location?

In November of 2008 I had my tubes tied and burnt. In Feb of this year I went to ob/gyn and the doctor explained the surgery. He said they were burnt via laser. I was wondering if there is any chance to reverse this. My husband and I really want to have another baby.
