Approximately 700,000 tubal ligations are performed each year in the US, which involves closing or blocking the fallopian tubes. This may involve an electrical current, burning, a clip/ring or physically tying the tubes off.
A study by the CDC has found that 7% of women choose to have a tubal reversal. Life circumstances may change, and the reversal is a woman’s opportunity to undergo a natural pregnancy.
The workup prior to a tubal reversal includes a procedure known as a hysterosalpingogram, which uses contrast dye and real time x-ray to determine the structure and function of the rmaining fallopian tubes.
This outpatient procedure is done using general anesthesia (put to sleep). A small incision is made above the pubic bone and right below the bikini line. To make the tubes accessible, they are pulled above the incision so the surgeon can make necessary repairs. Surgical instruments are used to remove the unhealthy sections of the fallopian tubes. Once open and unobstructed, the tubes are aligned and sutures are used to reconnect the outer and middle layers of the tubal structure. Most pateints are able to return to work within one week.
A tubal ligation cannot be done when the fallopian tubes are less than four centimeters, according to the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM). You are a good candidate if you:
• Have no other fertility issues
• Have a partner with adequate number of sperm and quality
• Have severed tubes that are long and healthy enough for repair
• Are under the age of 40 years
• Have a body mass index that is normal
The success of a tubal reversal is approximately 90%. The subsequent chance of becoming pregnant is approximately 70%, with most success occurring within the first year. Keep in mind the procedure will not make one more fertile than she was prior to the ligation.
Typical cost for a tubal reversal procedure is not covered by insurance and has a broad range between $5-7k.
