Dr. Berger’s Comment
The highest priority for patients who come to me for tubal reversal surgery to untie tubes is patient safety during and after surgery. This is ensured by the involvement of medical professionals who are the most highly trained and qualified specialists. Our two anesthesiologists are certified by the American Board of Anesthesiology. The anesthesiologist is the physician responsible for the monitoring and care of patients while they are asleep during their tubal reversal procedure and for their safe and comfortable recovery in the post anesthesia care unit (PACU). Dr. Split’s background in Emergency Medicine gives him an added dimension of knowledge and experience. On behalf of all of our staff, I am very pleased to welcome Dr. Split to Chapel Hill Surgical Center and Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center.

Patients are often very apprehensive about their anesthesia for the tubal reversal surgery. Dr. Split is extremely friendly and I think he does a great job of putting patients fears aside and helping them to feel comfortable about their upcoming procedure.
