Our Tubal Reversal Services:
Tubal reversal is a surgical procedure that aims to restore fertility in women who have undergone tubal ligation, which is a permanent method of birth control that involves cutting, tying, or blocking the fallopian tubes to prevent fertilization. The procedure involves reconnecting the severed or blocked portions of the fallopian tubes to allow eggs and sperm to meet and fertilize naturally.
AFC fertility specialists who are trained in performing the procedure. Before undergoing tubal reversal, a thorough evaluation is typically done to determine if the woman is a suitable candidate for the procedure. This evaluation may include a medical history, physical examination, blood tests, imaging tests, semen analysis (if the woman has a partner), and psychological evaluation.
The success rate of tubal reversal depends on various factors, such as the woman's age, the type of tubal ligation performed, the length and quality of the remaining fallopian tubes, and the partner's fertility. The procedure is typically done through a laparoscopic procedure under general anesthesia, and there is a risk of complications such as infection, bleeding, or anesthesia reactions.

What is Tubal Reversal
Tubal reversal, also known as tubal sterilization reversal or tubal ligation reversal, is a surgical procedure that aims to restore fertility in women who have undergone tubal ligation, a permanent method of birth control. Tubal ligation is very effective at preventing pregnancy. Less than 1 in every 100 females who has a tubal ligation will get pregnant.
During tubal ligation, a woman's fallopian tubes are cut, tied, or blocked to prevent eggs from traveling from the ovaries to the uterus, where fertilization normally occurs. Tubal reversal involves reconnecting the severed or blocked portions of the tubes to allow the eggs and sperm to meet and fertilize naturally.
Tubal reversal surgery can be performed using different techniques, including microsurgery, laparoscopy, and robot-assisted surgery. The success rate of the procedure depends on various factors, such as the woman's age, the type of tubal ligation performed, the length and quality of the remaining fallopian tubes, and the partner's fertility.
It is important to note that tubal reversal may not be a suitable option for all women, and the decision to undergo the procedure should be made after careful consideration and consultation with a qualified healthcare provider.

- Medical history and physical examination: A healthcare provider will ask about the woman's medical history, including any past surgeries or medical conditions, and perform a physical examination to evaluate her general health and assess the condition of the reproductive organs.
- Blood tests: Blood tests may be done to evaluate hormone levels, check for infections or other health conditions, and assess the woman's overall health and nutritional status.
- Imaging tests: Imaging tests, such as ultrasound or hysterosalpingography, may be done to evaluate the condition of the fallopian tubes and uterus and to identify any abnormalities or blockages.
- Semen analysis: If the woman has a partner, a semen analysis may be done to evaluate the quality and quantity of the partner's sperm.
- Psychological evaluation: Some healthcare providers may require a psychological evaluation to assess the woman's mental health and emotional readiness for the procedure.
