Blog Topics Suggested by Patients
We recently asked Tubal Reversal Message Board members to submit ideas for future topics to be addressed in the Doctors Blog.
Here are some of the topics that have been suggested so far:
• Tubal ligation effects on a woman’s body
• Tubal ligation risks
• Pregnancy outcomes and other issues for older women
• Information to help educate doctors
If you would like to add suggestions for other topics, please post on the Doctor’s Blog Suggestions thread on the message board.
At Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center, we are dedicated to patient education about all aspects of tubal ligation reversal. We welcome your ideas and want to address your questions and concerns about tubal ligation, tubal reversal or pregnancy after a tubal ligation reversal.

I think that this is a great idea. It is always nice to know what women are looking for as far as information in regarding to tubal reversal surgery. Information can help a women make the best decision for herself as well as her family. Putting patients first, just another example of exceptional patient care.

Understanding what questions patients have allows us to focus on their specific concerns. Feedback is always welcome!

We always like questions! I think it is great that women are responding and letting us know what topics are of interest to them.

Asking patients directly to inquire about what topics they are interested in and need more information about is a great idea. This really facilitates meeting the needs of patients when they are able to directly communicate which information they are most in need of.

Patient education is so important, especially in a field like tubal reversal. Informed patients make better decisions for themselves and can truly participate in their care. I just love the fact that I work at a facility that promotes patient knowledge

This helpful idea just opens the door for patient - physician communication. I think it helps patients feel that they are a part of their tubal reversal process. Chapel Hill Surgery Center helps to educate their patients as well as care for them.

Many times it is easier for patients to write out their questions or concerns rather than talking to the physician face to face. So this seems like a good opportunity for women to really speak what is on their mind.

Great idea! This way we can better answer questions that patients might have.

This is another example of the attempt to provide education for anyone interested in tubal reversal.
Thanks!
