She and her husband decided ligation reversal was a more appropriate path for them. She was a knowledgeable medical professional. She understood what it meant to have a tubal ligation. Many patients of all walks of life will have changes of heart as their lives change. Even medical professionals will make health care decisions for themselves that later may turn out to not be right for them. In her case, the surgical techniques of tubal anastomosis and microsurgical salpingostomy were used to repair the fallopian tubes.]]></description>

		<title>IVF vs. Tubal Ligation Reversal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Women who want more children after tubal ligation must decide between 2 treatment options - in vitro fertilization (IVF) and tubal ligation reversal. IVF is a good treatment for couples who have unexplained infertility, severe sperm disorders, and for women with severely damaged fallopian tubes from pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Tubal ligation reversal is a better treatment for women who have previously had a tubal ligation and who do not have any of the above indications for IVF.]]></description>

		<title>Is Your Doctor Cold on the Idea of Tubal Reversal?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many doctors will give you less than a warm response when you ask about tubal ligation reversal. Ever wonder why? I hope my personal experience can illustrate why general ob/gyn doctors may not support their patients who want to have their tubal ligations reversed, and why reproductive specialists mostly do IVF. I view tubal ligation reversal as a disappearing surgical skill that may not be available to patients in the future. This is why I asked to join Dr. Berger's staff at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center. To help women with tubal ligations who want to get pregnant is the reason why I have embarked on the path to become a tubal ligation reversal specialist.]]></description>

		<title>Pathology Reports Before Tubal Ligation Reversal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center, we want to maximize the chances for pregnancy after tubal ligation reversal for all of our patients. One step that is helpful in planning for a tubal reversal procedure is examining the pathology report from a patient's medical record. When a tubal ligation and resection procedure has been performed, a segment of fallopian tube was removed and most likely sent to a pathologist. Therefore, a pathology report should exist in the patient's medical record. A pathology report will help our tubal reversal doctors determine exactly what was done during a ligation and resection procedure and what your chances of tubal reversal success will be.]]></description>

		<title>Operative Reports Before Ligation Reversal Surgery</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Undergoing a tubal ligation reversal at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center is an important endeavor and we want to maximize every patient's chance of ligation reversal success. Operative reports are important because they allow us to determine the likely success of tubal ligation reversal surgery. When the operative report is not available, we offer the option of starting with a screening laparoscopy. The choice of whether to start with screening laparoscopy is up to the individual patient. Since most tubal ligation procedures are reversible, it is an option, and not a requirement at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center.]]></description>
