People often wonder “If I do get the tubal reversal procedure done, what are the chances I’ll conceive?”
Dr. Berger is the only doctor who tracks his specific success rate – others doctors will just quote what has been published elsewhere or what they think the success rate should be. Dr. Berger has taken the time and the expense to meticulously keep track of his patients’ pregnancies needed to determine the success rate of the tubal reversal procedures he has performed.

Success Rates
One way to estimate your probability of success after a tubal reversal procedure is from the operative report from your tubal ligation. This can be obtained from the doctor who performed the surgery or from the medical records department of the hospital where your procedure was performed.
If you would like to forward this information to us, Dr. Berger will review the operative report at no charge and we can contact you regarding possible outcomes for you following reversal surgery. You may fax the records to us. Please include all contact information (phone and e-mail) when faxing your records.
