QUICK - It sounds as if your doctor is saying you had salpingitis or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). It is possible that tubal surgery could correct the tubal blockage. However, to know more about your situation, you would have to send us copies of your medical records including information about the hospitalizations and surgeries. If you need assistance in getting this information, call (919) 968-4656 and speak with a Tubal Reversal Nurse.

I am 27 years old and married for almost 9 years. I was operated on in 1999 and 2006 for appendicitis. An ob-gyn said my both fallopian tubes are closed and it may be caused and infected by my operations. but I want to have a baby even just one, please help me...

Your tubes can be unblocked if the damage has caused the tubes to be closed.
Please send us your records for review. You can also call (919) 968-4656 for a free tubal reversal nurse consultation.

17 years ago I got PID from my ex-husband who had an affair. I already had 5 children, but after our divorce I remarried. It has been 16 years and I would really like to have one more child. My problem is that the PID scarred my tubes. I have already been through all the tests and my hormone levels are still excellent. Although they could not do the HSG they did try, but the catheter would not stay in, I have also had a laparoscopy and the adhesions were removed, I would like to try tubal repair before I consider IVF. Any information you could provide me would be most appreciative.

You should send us your records for review so we can make sure we understand your medical history correctly. If you truly have only 1 cm of tube on each side then we would not recommend tubal reversal surgery.

Can you have a tubal reversal with only 1cm length of tube left on both sides? Is my only choice IVF at this point?

Want to know
It is hard to tell what was actually done during your tubal ligation. You should send us your operative note for a free evaluation or call a tubal reversal nurse at (919) 968-4656 for a phone consultation.

I had a c-section in 1997 and I have a tubal occlusion at distal one third for the fimbria bilaterally on both sides. Is it possible to have a successful reversal?

You can become pregnant with your situation. It may be harder and take longer. If pregnancy is not occurring in a time frame you desire, then consider IVF.

I had my right ovary removed about 2 years ago and after trying to conceive for about a year I went and had an HSG done. I was told everything looked good and about 4 weeks after my HSG I found out I was pregnant. The pregnancy was ectopic, my tube ruptured, and my left tube was removed. At this point, I have a left ovary and a right tube. I am trying to see if there is anything that I can do other then IVF to have a baby?

TM We have done tubal surgery on many patients with only one ovary. Please read our blog article International Tubal Ligation Reversal: Age 40. You should send us the reports of any tubal surgery you have had as well as any HSG X-rays. We will be able to review them and let you know if you are a candidate for tubal surgery. You can also call (919) 968-4656 for a free tubal reversal nurse consultation.

I have only one ovary left. My tube is extremely damaged, I have had 3 ectopic pregnancies in the last 5 years. My Dr. said that I probably wont ever be able to get pregnant again because of the tubal damage. I don't have any children yet. Is it possible to repair my remaining tube so that I may be able to get pregnant? How does one go about doing this?

Yes, I will send you my all reports. I am just waiting to get my reports from the Dr. I am very confused if I have to remove my tubes or not. Dr. also said tubes are badly damage and if I want child must remove my tubes, but I don’t want to remove my tubes. THANKS A LOT

SAMI – If you would like to send your medical records here, I would be happy to review them to see if surgery may be a successful option for you. Copies of operative reports and HSG films would be most helpful to review.

Dr said my both tubes damaged and right ovary has a tubo-ovarian cyst. I am 33 years old. Right ovary contains an endometrioma =23×56mm suggestive of a tuboovarian cyst. Dr said before going for ivf have to remove tubes. I had ivf last year but it was unsuccessful. Please help me. What can I do to become pregnant?

ASHLEY – Have you had a tubal reversal procedure done? If so, and you have become pregnant and miscarried, it does not need to be redone. If you are referring only to having had a tubal ligation and then became pregnant, you should have it redone despite what the HSG showed. In order to have conceived, then at least one of your tubes is open. Having a pelvic kidney does not diminish your chances of becoming pregnant, but can present complications during a pregnancy.

I’ve had dye put in my tubes an the dr said they were blocked but 1yr after I became pregnant an had a miscarriage. Is it possible that I need to get this procedure done again or is it something else and I also have a pelvic kidney could that decrease my chances of pregnancy?

I had one tube removed and one repaired. It has been over a year since my tubal surgery and I just had a HSG done, well during the procedure the tube looked as if it had closed again…What should I do? Get it reopened again? Is that possible? Or just go for IVF and let them remove both tubes?

By: Charles Monteith MD

Charles Monteith MD — Mon, 18 May 2009 17:06:05 +0000

It is repairable; however, we would need to see your records to give us a better idea. You should send us your records for review.

JULIA -

If you check our tubal reversal pregnancy statistics by age, you will see that at age 37 you would have a 2 out of 3 chance of conceiving again after tubal reversal surgery at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center.

I had my tubes tide when I had a C section in 1995 and now I’m 37 years old. I think there were tied and burned, not sure. Are my chances good at conceiving a child if i get the tubal reversal?

By: Charles Monteith MD

Charles Monteith MD — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 12:29:17 +0000

The cost for tubal repair at our center is $5400. We have many patient who travel from Europe to have the repair procedure with our center. Many international patients find it is cheaper to travel to see us for fallopian tube repair rather than to have the surgery in their home country.

I had my tubes tied then I started to bleed a lot and it would not stop. The doctor gave me a choice to either carry on bleeding or to have my tubes removed as they were both damaged by the ligation. I am in the UK do they do tube reversal repair over here. Also if I have to have it in the USA how much does it cost? Currently I am not working.

It sounds like you are describing the technique of fimbriectomy. This is reversible with the operation called salpingostomy.

I had my tubes tide when I had a c section. My doctor told me one thing about it but the doctor who did my tubal ligation told me that I can not get it untied. I’m young with two kids already, but I want one more.
