What Is Tubal Ligation Reversal Surgery?

The couples who once decided to not have a baby again may sometimes change their mind in future. If you opted Tubal Ligation to stop pregnancy, Tubal Ligation Reversal can help you to restore your fertility by reopening the fallopian tubes which were tied during Tubal Ligation and this allows the sperm to meet the egg and thus you can have a baby again.

Your surgeon will examine you before the surgery to look at some factors like:

• Your body mass index.
• Is there any damage to fallopian tubes.
• The type of tubal ligation.
• The tubal length.
• The quality of the egg and the sperm.

If everything is perfect the surgeon will begin with the surgical procedure which will take up to two to three hours. Most probably you can leave the hospital after four to five hours of rest after the surgery.

Procedure:

• General anaesthesia is given to the patient to make the surgery pain free.
• The surgeon will insert a laparoscope(a device with intense light and a camera that sends visual images to
• the monitor that is placed outside) through your belly button into the pelvic region.
• Small incisions will be made near the pubic hairline.
• The microscopic instrument which is attached to the end of the laparoscope will remove the clips and ringswhich were used to tie the tubes.
• The surgeon unites the ends of the tube to the uterus, using small stitches.
• Age, pelvic problems like endometriosis and fibroid tumours can always stay as a threat to the success of Tubal Ligation Reversal. In Vitro Fertilization can be a preferable option for them.

Benefits of Tubal Ligation Surgery:

• Affordable than IVF.
• No need to take extra medications.
• More chances to conceive than other options.
• Quicker results than other fertility treatments.

There are few risk factors for Tubal Ligation Surgery like infection, bleeding and sometimes pregnancy may happen outside of the uterus usually in the fallopian tube.
