In order to understand the procedure of tubal reversal, it’s helpful to inform patients and the general public about what the different tubal ligation possibilities are available. Thank you Dr. Monteith for your explanation on “untying tied tubes.”

My husband and I are currently exploring options that we would like to take a chance to have another child. We live far on the coastal pacific Northwest, Newport, OR. We strongly love each other, believe in a strong education and a have a happy life with parents who would love them. Martin and I had our previous children in other relationships that ended up where we both raised our children together. To finally here there is real hope for a second chance for us, we will take that leap of faith work towards having our child. Thanks for all of the inspiration and info.

When a patient calls to inquiry about the tubal reversal for the first time, I ask them if they know what type of tubal ligation her doctor performed. The patient usually says “They were just tied”. Patients normally do not know that they in fact did not have their tubes “tied”, but rather clipped, burned, and/or resected. Lucky for our patients, Dr. Berger is able to repair the tubes in 98% of cases and has reversed all types of tubal ligations.

Patients may find out how their tubes were tied by requesting a copy of their operative report from the hospital where the tubal ligation surgery was performed. Mail or fax us the oeprative report and Dr. Berger will review it free of charge. A nurse will contact you to discuss scheduling your tubal reversal surgery.

Thank you Dr. Monteith for the explanation, I believe alot of woment thought just what you stated , that the tubes are just tied off with something. Doctors have never gone into any detail to explain the actual precedure to women after child birth. I am sure the way you explained the precedure will help many women understand.

Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center is the only medical facility specializing exclusively in tubal ligation reversal. The staff are dedicated and the care is more personalized than the care that is received in a large hospital. I am not aware of any other facility that provides support for non urgent concerns during the evenings, weekends and holidays.

I believe that women should now what they are having done and have all questions answered about there tubal reversal procedures. One thing that I really enjoy about working at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center is that it’s a more personal setting than any other clinic or hospital, and we take the time to fully educate patients them about their options regarding having tubes untied.

I think that this information will help many women out there understand what they actually had done at the time of there tubal ligation. Many times we get calls from patients who are upset when they find out that a piece of tube was actually removed. They often say, “I thought my doctor said he was just tying my tubes.” It is good to know that this procedure which is referred to as permanent in most cases is not so permanent after all. This is a great option for women out there who have had decided that they once again would like to have another child as well as those who have decided that they want to have a child for the first time.

Women often receive little education from their doctors regarding sterilization before having the procedure performed. This information is a clear, simple explanation for the most common question we receive!
