Surgery Scheduling

Thank you for your interest in tubal ligation reversal at The Center for Fertility and Gynecology.

The success of the procedure depends on several factors, including a woman's age, the type of sterilization performed and the length of healthy tube remaining. Pregnancy rates can be as high as 70% (this can vary depending on a patients circumstance). One way to determine what your success rate may be is with the operative report from your tubal ligation. This information can be obtained from your doctor or from the medical records department of the hospital where you had your procedure done. If you would like to forward this information to us, a doctor will review the operative report and will contact you regarding possible outcomes for your specific situation following surgery. You may fax the records to our office at (818) 881-1857. Please include your present name and the name under which the tubal ligation was performed. Also include a telephone number so that we can contact you after reviewing your records.

You will then be contacted to schedule a telephone consultation. Following the consultation and receiving your faxed medical information you surgery will be scheduled.

During your consultation the risks, benefits, side effects, potential complications, outcomes and alternatives are discussed in detail. It is important that all of these issues are understood before the procedure is performed. Out of town patients may have some of these issues covered by phone. An in person conversation insures that the message has been received.

A semen analysis should be done prior to the surgery. Unexpected male fertility is a relatively common problem. An abnormal semen analysis may greatly affect the decision to have a tubal reversal as opposed to In Vitro Fertilization with ICSI. For women 35 and older an estradiol and FSH on day three of the cycle should be done prior to the surgery to rule out unexpected decline in fertility

When pregnancy occurs, it is important to have a physician actively determine its location as soon as possible, because tubal pregnancies do occur at a higher than normal frequency in women who have had a tubal reversal.
