With bipolar coagulation, the tubes are usually burned in 2 or 3 places. These are reversible. If multiple burns were performed with monopolar coagulation, the tubes may or may not be repairable. Your operative report should be able to give information about the type of coagulation, number of burn sites, and how far apart they were. If it is not clear from the operative report, we offer the option of starting with laparoscopy to check the tubes and proceed with tubal reversal if they are repairable, or stop the procedure and issue a partial refund if they are not.

Typically health insurance will not pay for tubal corrective surgery if it is done for infertility. You must check with your insurance carrier to be sure.

One great thing about tubal reversal is that it’s a one time payment, and you can try and concieve as many children as you like. IVF is so expensive each time you want to try and have another child. Cost wise, tubal reversal is such a better choice. The success rates puts the choice over the top, to go from 30% with IVF up to 70%, it’s easy to see why women opt for the tubal reversal.

With the cost for a tubal reversal averaging $4900-$6900 and a success rate of 70% and IVF averaging $9000-$12000 with only a 30% success rate it is hard to understand why IVF is so popular. On top of that, after a tubal reversal a woman has a chance to become pregnant every month after surgery whereas IVF (at $9000-$12000)has to be done with every menstrual cycle a woman wants to try to attempt a pregnancy. It seems that for a vast majority of the population tubal reversal is the way to go!

We have so many patients who have told us these same things. All of our patients have done extensive research before choosing tubal reversal surgery over IVF. Tubal Surgery offered so much more “bang for their buck”, their choice was easy.
