Tubal ligation reversal is a surgical procedure that reopens your fallopian tubes following tubal ligation (having your tubes tied). If you wish to have a baby, it may be possible to restore your fertility.. If reversal is not feasible, your doctor can advise you through alternatives such as IVF.
You may be the ideal candidate for tubal reversal if you are:
It would be beneficial if you brought a copy of your tubal ligation operation report to your initial consultation with your reproductive specialist. Bring the pathology report if your tubes were removed.
To increase your chances of having a sound pregnancy, do the following:
The tubal ligation reversal procedure typically takes two to three hours. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia. During surgery, a tiny tube called a catheter is inserted into your bladder to collect your urine. A single large or multiple smaller incisions are created to access your fallopian tubes. After that, if tubal reversal is a possibility, your surgeon will do the procedure right away. They will unblock the obstructed ends of your tubes and rejoin the fallopian tube parts. Following the surgery, the surgeon will stitch your incisions with dissolvable sutures under your skin and cover the operation location with a bandage.
You’ll be in the hospital for around two hours following surgery. During that time, your healthcare practitioner or care team will watch you to ensure you’re ready to go home. If necessary, your provider will give you pain, nausea, and vomiting medication before you leave the hospital. They will also provide you with information on how to take care of yourself while you are recovering.
The recovery time is a week or two. Following are some tips that will help you recover quickly at home:
If you are under 40 years old and you have your tubal ligation medical report so you can send it to your My Doctor Click case manager so he can send it to the doctor and see if you are a candidate.
