Lakesia – It is nice, but not essential, to see the operative report. The fact is that almost all tubal ligation methods are reversible. We also offer the option of starting the operation with laparoscopy to look at your tubes before making the final decision about whether they are repairable. In over 95% of cases, the tubes can be repaired. So the answer to your question is “yes” – there is hope for you!

I had my tubes tied almost 13yrs. Ago and I’ve been desperately wanting another bundle of joy. However I tried to obtain my operative report and was unsuccessful,I was told by medical records that it was placed in archives and can not be retrieved. I’ve been praying for many years to God to bless me with another baby.. Is there any hope for me

This is very helpful information, Dr. Monteith, in starting the process of obtaining information on a patient and her type of tubal ligation. If a patient is unable to get a report on the type of tubal ligation or information on the health of her tube, the screening laparoscopy option can supply that information and the process of tubal reversal can move forward.

In Dr. Berger’s extensive surgerical experience with tubal reversal he has seen most every unusual situation imaginable. His expertise is evident by the fact that he repairs 98% of cases. Women should be assured that he will repair what is possible.

Operative reports are very important in conveying exactly what was done during an operation. We always would like to receive detailed operative reports, although not all doctors provide detailed accounts of their surgical procedures. At Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center, we take great pride in writing precise and detailed operative reports so that anyone will be able to clearly understand the details of operations performed here.

This should help our patients better understand how helpful an operative report is to Drs. Berger and Monteith and how one can be obtained.

As Jennifer mentioned, it also amazes me when a vague report is received and the assessment is made that reversal should be possible. Experience is definitely the key to success.

It is always helpful to gather as much information as possible when assessing whether or not a patient is a candidate for outpatient tubal reversal surgery. By having a detailed operative report from a tubal ligation procedure, Dr. Berger and Dr. Monteith are able to look at the big picture and determine if a patient is a candidate. It is nice to know, though, that Dr. Berger is able to perform tubal reversals in 98% of cases, regardless of whether or not we ever received an operative report.

It still amazes me how some tubal ligation doctors give a great amount of detail, but others hardly describe the tubal ligation at all in the operative report. Luckily, because Dr. Berger has performed over 7,000 reversals he usually knows whether a ligation should be reversible or not even with little detail. Overall, Dr. Berger is able to reverse the tubal ligations in 98% of our patients.

This is great information and I know that it will help many women get started on their journey for tubal reversal surgery. With the experience and dedication of the physicians at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center, it is also nice knowing that even without an operative report, tubal reversal surgery can be done.
