Surgery for Fertility Preservation Laparoscopy Laparoscopy (“band-aid surgery”) is the method of choice when surgery is needed to evaluate and to treat infertility that is associated with conditions such as endometriosis, blocked fallopian tubes, and adhesions. This minimally invasive and outpatient surgical approach offers a very short recovery and proven successful outcomes. The experienced physicians at Advanced Fertility Centers of West Texas are uniquely experienced in fertility-preserving laparoscopy. While surgery is rarely a first choice, patients should feel confident in their surgeon’s abilities and training. Patients can read about personal experiences of other women who had this surgery for infertility on our "People Sharing Their AFC Experiences" webpage.
Center for Minimally Invasive Surgery- is a Center of Excellence in treating Endometriosis...
Endometriosis is a common condition, more common in a population of infertile women. Symptoms do not reliably predict its presence, but combinations of findings can raise suspicions. Fortunately, well-designed clinical trials support laparoscopic surgery to be an effective intervention. Patients who feel that endometriosis is their impediment to successful conception are encouraged to learn more. Our experienced Surgeons are uniquely trained to address this problem. Dr. Rizk and Dr Malik have achieved international acclaim for his pioneering contributions and research to better understand and treat endometriosis and its associated consequences.
Having a baby after tubal ligation is possible - with our special expertise and experience in Tubal Reversal ..
Tubal Ligation Reversal
For women, a previous sterilization by a tubal ligation does not have to be permanent! With more than 30 years of tubal ligation reversal experience, Advanced Fertility Centers of West Texas has an established record for surgical success and healthy pregnancies after Tubal Ligation Reversal (TLR). Our surgeons lead the nation in experience and successful results in Robot assisted Tubal Reversals.
A pre-surgical consultation and testing will help assure that TLR is the correct choice and that a successful pregnancy is likely. This procedure for women yields excellent surgical results with re-opening of one or both tubes in 90% of cases. Though the woman’s age is an important factor, for women with confirmation of open tubes, the AFC experience reports a pregnancy rate greater than 70%.
The procedure is planned as “outpatient” or “same-day surgery” and patients are able to return to their routine activities quickly. Providing low-cost reversal of tubal ligation is a specialty of this practice. Most patients have TLR completed for predetermined, discounted fees, *negotiated to include the surgery, anesthesia, and facility fees. Patients can read about personal experiences of other women who had this surgery for infertility on our "People Sharing the Advanced Fertility Centers of West Texas" webpage. *Actual cost may vary for some patients based on location, and an individual’s need for medications and other services.
