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 A Personal Choice.

Undergoing a tubal ligation reversal at A Personal Choice 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 A Personal Choice.

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.
