The illustrations of the Pomeroy procedure, as one example of “tying tubes”, is a helpful example in showing patients that the 2 parts of the tube can be joined together again to make one tube for travel of the sperm to the egg. Chapel Hill Surgery Center can make the possibility of pregnancy a reality.

I am sure there are many people like myself who weren’t aware how common it is to have the procedure of having ones tubes untied. Fortunately,though there is much information that can be gotten through blog sites like those of Dr Monteith and Dr. Berger who are experts in the field.

The GOOD NEWS is that approximately 70% of women report pregnancy following tubal reversal from this procedure. Women who thought this was a permanent condition find they are able to have children again.

Great job of explaining “untying” tied tubes. I hope this helps couples better understand the tubal reversal procedure at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center.

Out of all the tubal reversals we do we see the ligation and resection procedure most. This blog does an excellent job showing patients exactly what was done during their tubal ligation and how it can be reversed.

Thank you for another informative blog post! It is so helpful to have the illustrations of the ligations as well as the written description. This way patients can really have a clear picture of how their ligation was performed and how it will be reversed.

This is great information for women who are interested in tubal reversal surgery. I think that this allows them to understand what they had done and the fact that all different types of ligations are reversed everyday by the tubal reversal specialists at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center.

Thank you for the informative diagrams and description of the Pomeroy method. This is definitely one of the most common types of tubal ligations that can be reversed and usually leads to good outcomes of pregnancy following surgery.

I think it says al ot about Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center that we are the only facility that collects and publishes pregnancy data. Without this information, how could a patient choose a doctor to perform the reversal surgery with fully informed consent? The Pomery Method is just one of many methods of tied tubes that we untie every day. Thanks for the information, Dr. Montieth.

Thank you, Dr. Monteith, for your blog post on tubal ligation and resection. Anyone interested in learning about pregnancy rates after tubal ligation reversal should study the pregnancy statistics on our website. Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center is the only medical facility that publishes pregnancy reports and pregnancy statistics for its patients.
