Tubal Reversal Surgery Explained

Tubal ligation reversal at our specialty center is affordable and successful outpatient surgery. No overnight hospital stay is required.

Our patients have an unequaled surgery experience. We provide safe and exceptional patient care. This is one reason why our patients travel from all across the Untied States and other parts of the world to have tubal ligation reversal surgery at our center in Raleigh, North Carolina.

When your tubes are tied your doctor performed a surgery to cause a permanent blockage in your fallopian tubes. If you can use surgery to cause a blockage then you can use surgery to repair a blockage. Permanent does not have to be forever. The countless number of couples who have experienced success at our reversal center are a testimony that tubal ligation can be reversed if you see an experience surgeon.

Tubal reversal surgery can be very successful at restoring your natural fertility, allowing you the chance to become pregnant every month, and providing you the ability to become pregnant more than once.

We are responsible for more successful tubal reversal surgeries and more tubal reversal babies than any other reversal center in the world.

Types of Tubal Ligations: Can Tubes Be Reversed?

All tubal ligation procedures will cause blockage of the fallopian tube. Our experience has demonstrated the majority of tubal ligations can be reversed and pregnancy is possible.

Even if you have had tubal coagulation (bipolar or monopolar burning), ligation and resection (Parkland, Irving, Pomeroy, or Uchida procedures), tubal rings (Falope or Yoon rings), tubal clips (Filshie or Hulka clips), or hysteroscopic tubal occlusion (Essure or Adiana procedures), we are able to reverse these tubal ligations in over 98% of our patients.

How Is Tubal Ligation Reversed?

Since most of our patients travel to see us we perform most of our evaluation and scheduling using phone, email, and fax. Patients will then travel to us and spend 2 to 3 days at our facility.

The pre-operative consult is the afternoon of the first day, the reversal surgery is the morning of the second day and the post-operative visit is the morning of the this day. Patients are then free to return home after their postoperative visit.

The price of success is just three days and two nights in Raleigh North Carolina. Many people spend more time and money on a vacation than they do with tubal reversal surgery at our center.

We reverse tubal ligations through a small 2 to 4 inch incision made just above the pubic hair line. The surgery is out-patient and lasts approximately 60 minutes.

Patients then return to one of the hotels near our center to recover and they are seen in our office for a post-operative evaluation the day after surgery.

After the post-operative evaluation, patients then return home and can attempt to become pregnant as soon as they feel comfortable. Most of our patients can return to work within 7 to 10 days and most will become pregnant within the first 12 months of having reversal surgery.

Although it is easy to add up the cost of traveling to have surgery, your experience with becoming a mom again will be priceless.

Does Reversing Tubes Really Work?

Tubal reversal surgery at our center can be successful and can provide patients with an alternative treatment to in-vitro fertilization. Tubal reversal allows you a chance to become pregnant every month and over many months these chances add up and, unlike IVF, tubal reversal allows you the chance to become pregnant more than once.

In our experience approximately 2 out of 3 of our patients will become pregnant after reversing their tubes.

We have comprehensive pregnancy statistics after tubal reversal collected from over 10,000 of our reversal patients.The American Society for Reproductive Medicine has consistently issued committee opinions on the role and effectiveness of tubal surgery.¹

Our patients continually update us with reports documenting their pregnancy success. These messages are updated frequently and can be viewed within the Pregnancy Testimonials and Patient Reviews sections of our website.

The longer you wait then the more you are hurting your chances of becoming a mom again.

Act sooner rather than later because your chances of pregnancy depend on it!
