Can cut tied and burnt tubes be reversed?
We are frequently contacted by women have had ‘cut tied and burnt‘ tubal ligations.
Many of these women are aware tubal ligation can be reversed but they are worried about the extra burning. Very often they ask “Can cut tied and burnt tubes be reversed?”
Tubal ligation involves tying a small portion of tube with a suture and then cutting out the segment of tube between the suture. The medical term for this procedure is ligation and resection. Very often doctors will burn the very tips of the cut tubes. This is often done to further decrease the chance of bleeding or to accelerate healing so the tubes heal closed quicker. Often doctors are performing the extra step of burning to decrease the chance of a tubal ligation complication or a tubal ligation failure.
Although the burning is an extra step, this burning is often minimal and does very little to the health of the remaining fallopian tube. Dr. Monteith has frequently repaired cut, tied, and burnt tubes with success. Pregnancy is possible with reversal of this type of tubal ligation. The chance of pregnancy after reversing cut, tied, and burnt tubes is approximately 66%.
If you have asked yourself, “Can cut tied and burnt tubal ligation be reversed?” then you should be assured when you see Dr. Monteith that the answer is a solid “Yes!”
