Reversing Tubal Sterilization
Tubal ligation reversal at A Personal Choice is a simple and safe outpatient operation for reversing tubal sterilization through a small incision that results in minimal discomfort and recovery time.
Dr. Gary Berger and Dr. Charles Monteith specialize in untying tubes. Women travel to Chapel Hill, NC from all over the United States and other parts of the world to have their tubes repaired after a previous tubal ligation. Over 7000 women have chosen to come here for their reversal procedures because we specialize exclusively in tubal ligation reversal, have perfected the outpatient approach to reversal surgery, and have the best success in terms of pregnancies after tubal reversal surgery.
Reversal Surgery Through a Small Incision
Patients often ask about the size and location of the incision for untying the tubes. The incision is about 2 to 3 inches in length at top of the pubic hair line similar to a “Bikini incision”. This incision is about one-third the length of an average C-section incision. In thin patients, it is not much wider than a quarter. It is sufficient, however, to be able to repair the tubes successfully. This type of incision results in the least amount of pain after reversal surgery and the fastest recovery time. Heavier patients, or those who have had multiple abdominal operations, may require longer incisions.
Reducing Postoperative Pain
Factors that cause postoperative pain are:
Length and location of the surgical incision
Using retractors to expose the pelvic organs
Using packs to push away the intestines
Our surgical techniques minimize postoperative pain. We use a small, transverse (cross wise) bikini line incision. We avoid routinely using retractors and packs. Patients at A Personal Choice are much more comfortable than after standard abdominal surgery. This avoids the high cost of having to recover in a hospital.
