Tubal ligation is a common procedure women undergo to prevent pregnancy. However, if the time comes that a woman who has undergone this procedure feels emotionally and physically ready to add to her family, Tubal Ligation Reversal may be an option. Tubal Ligation Reversal is a surgical procedure that can restore fertility to a woman by reconnecting the fallopian tubes that have been surgically cut, tied, and/or burned. At Reproductive Fertility Center, our team understands the importance of helping you achieve your family goals and is here for you every step of the way.

Tubal Reversal Procedure

The Tubal Reversal procedure is a relatively minor outpatient surgery that occurs through a small incision in the abdomen (around your bikini line). The entire process is relatively easily with quick recovery time. Throughout your experience at Reproductive Fertility Center, you will be surrounded by a dedicated team who is dedicated to your comfort and experience. Below is a detailed breakdown of the steps you can expect from our team when dealing with Tubal Reversal:

1. Initial Call – The first step is to call our dedicated team of experts. We are ready to answer any questions you may have and setup a consultation with out Doctor. 310-881-8846
2. Consultation – During your consultation either in person or virtual, Dr. Saadat will explain the details of tubal ligation reversal surgery. At this time, we will review the patients’ medical history and post-operative report so that we can discuss what treatment will offer the best chance of success.
3. Pre-operation Meeting – Before surgery takes place, our team will perform a patient physical exam and transvaginal ultrasound to prepare you for the surgery. During this meeting, you will get further instructions on what to expect the day of the procedure.
4. Tubal Reversal Surgery – You will arrive at the scheduled time and meet with Dr. Saadat, your nurse, and anesthesiologist. The entire procedure takes roughly 90 minutes to complete. During the procedure, a small incision will be placed on your abdomen near your bikini line. Our team will then examine your fallopian tubes with a microscope and identify the location of your tubal ligation. The closed portions of your fallopian tubes will be removed using micro scissors, connecting the end of one healthy portion of the tube to the other end of the healthy portion of the tube using very fine surgical sutures.
   Next, the abdomen is assessed to ensure there is no bleeding and the organs are moved back to their original positions, closed in layers. Once the procedure is completed, you will be awakened and recover for roughly two hours to ensure you are feeling well. 
5. Recovery – You will experience minor to moderate discomfort following your procedure. While this is normal to expect, the pain should subside in days. During this time, Dr. Saadat will prescribe you medication to minimize any pain.
6. Conception – Following your recovery, our medical director will recommend you and your partner use ovulation prediction kids or other methods to correctly time intercourse. With Tubal Reversal, most pregnancies will follow 6-12 months following the procedure. If pregnancy hasn’t occurred in the year, we will advise our patience to have a HSG Scan (hysterosalpingogram) to ensure the tubes have remained open. In most cases, both tubes have been successfully repaired.

How successful is Tubal Reversal?

The success of tubal reversal surgery depends on several factors, including the woman's age, the length and condition of the remaining fallopian tubes, and the reason for the original tubal ligation.

Overall, the success rate of tubal reversal surgery is relatively high, with many women experiencing restored fertility after the procedure. According to a review of several studies, the pregnancy rate following tubal reversal surgery can range from 50% - 85%. These rates may be higher or lower depending on the specific circumstances of the individual woman and will be disclosed by Dr. Saadat prior to the procedure.
