Yes, clips are the best of all tubal ligation procedures for reversal. Look at Table 4 on our website page that shows pregnancy rates after tubal ligation reversal by method of tubal ligation and you will see that it has a 76% pregnancy rate for women of all ages, ranging up to 87% for women less than 30 years of age.

Thank you, Dr. Monteith, for helping women feel they can discuss the choices of sterilization with their doctors in the event that tubal reversal could be a possibility for them in the future.

I really like the Filshie clips as well as the Hulka clips because they are less harmful to the tubes and are normal\ly easier to reverse than other procedures.

In the operating room I frequently see that the Filshe Clip is found to be one of the least destructive types of tubal ligation.

I think that this will be helpful for women who have had the Filshie clip method of sterilization. This will help them understand that the clip can not just be removed to open the tube. Providing this type of information goes to show the dedication to patient care that the staff at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center has. Thank you for placing patients first.

Thank you Dr. Monteith for the very informative blog about Filshie clip ligations. This will be a great resource to show patients who have had the Filshie clip ligation so they can understand a little better what they had done and how it can be reversed.
