Ethics of Tubal Ligation – Part 2
This case report is about a 26 year old woman with no children who had a tubal ligation at age 22. She changed her mind about wanting to have children and came to Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center to have her tubes untied. But her tubal ligation was with such a destructive method that tubal reversal was not possible. The question is raised, since there are tubal ligation methods that can be reversed, is it ethical for a doctor to destroy the tubes in a young woman with no children?

Difficult Tubal Reversal Situations
Experience is the most important indicator of whether successful tubal reversal surgery can be performed when a woman has a difficult tubal reversal situation due to short tubes, missing tubal segments, fimbriectomy, or inherent diseases of the tubes. While most doctors would be unwilling – or unable - to perform a reversal procedure in one of these situations, Dr. Gary Berger is able to repair the tubes in 98% of cases, regardless of the type of sterilization that has been performed or whether difficult situations are encountered.

My address to former and future friends………
Dr. Monteith addresses his motivations behind his decision to leave a successful practice in obstetrics and gynecology. His vivid memories of his general practice grandfather, his despondency in practicing modern medicine, and his desire to make a significant impact upon the lives of his patients led him to enter a career in tubal ligation reversal. The ability to help thousands of women overcome the impact of past decisions and add value to their lives and families was an irresistible urge for him.

IVF vs. Tubal Ligation Reversal
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.

Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome | A Long Journey
Women who experience the symptoms of Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome have had a long journey. They often must contend with doctors who discount their symptoms or do not acknowledge an association with their tubal ligations.

At the end of this journey, those who remain without a specific medical diagnosis will indeed have Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome.

Pathology Reports Before Tubal Ligation Reversal
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.

Is Your Doctor Cold on the Idea of Tubal Reversal?
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.

There really is no such thing as simply tying tubes. Many people seem to imagine the fallopian tubes are like a shoe lace and we tie them up in a bow to prevent pregnancy. As a tubal ligation reversal specialist, I wish it were that simple- then reversing tied tubes would be a whole lot easier!
