would you have the surgery to have a tubal reversal?

Answer 1

yes..


Sterilization reversal surgery for women is highly successful if a sufficient length of tube remains on both ends of the ligation. Often the operative report from the tubal ligation procedure is useful in identifying candidates who do not have a good chance for successful reversal. However, in approximately 5% of cases, the tubal reversal surgery cannot be performed due to unexpected findings in the pelvis at the time of the intended reversal surgery. These findings include scarring of the fimbriated end of the tubes or absence of the fimbria. The fimbria are the tiny finger-like structures that sweep the egg into the tube from the ovary. The tubal reversal surgery is performed through a 3 to 4 inch "bikini cut" incision. The patient leaves the hospital or surgical center 23 hours later in most cases. Two to 3 weeks are needed to return to normal function. If the patient's job involves heavy lifting she may need to take 4-6 weeks off work. In the situations where the scarring or length of the remaining tube prevents the reversal, the patient avoids the full incision with its resultant cost and recovery time. This is because we perform a laparoscopic assessment of the tubes immediately prior to the tubal reversal while the patient is under general anesthesia (completely asleep). The tubal reversal surgery requires a certain amount of expertise; therefore, you should choose a reproductive surgeon who has undergone a fellowship in infertility and preferably is board certified in Reproductive Endocrinology. An operating microscope is used to reconnect the two ends of the tubes using very fine suture material to reduce the chance of scar formation.



Tubal Reversal Surgery
Just as a tubal ligation is considered to be major surgery, so is a tubal reversal. Normally, this procedure takes two to three hours and is done under general anesthetic. In order to make your fallopian tubes functional again, the doctor will unclamp; reattach; remove any devices that may be blocking your tubes or place an implant into your fallopian tubes. This type of surgery does require a hospital stay of at least one night but you may need to remain in the hospital for as much as five days after the surgery. Once you leave the hospital, you can expect to completely recover from the procedure over the course of the next four to six weeks.

As with any type of major surgery, complications are always a possibility. Although they are rare, side effects of tubal ligation reversal surgery may include:

Bleeding
Infections
Damage to the surrounding organs
Complications due to anesthetic
Thanks to the advances made in microsurgery, though, it is possible for tubal reversals to be done in less than an hour on an outpatient basis. Additionally, only local anesthesia is necessary for this procedure. While this type of surgery is far less invasive than the traditional tubal ligation reversal surgery, thereby significantly reducing the risk of complications, the technology is still new and not widely practiced

Answer 2

At least over the past 10 years, more and more doctors make the tubal ligations irreversable. This is done by burning the edges closed, instead of just clipping them. Doctors in my area refuse to do the procedure, if they do not also burn them.

That's why the procedure is done, when a woman is absolutely 100% sure that she's done having children. If there is any form of doubt, then the procedure should not be done.

And so my answer is no. I would not attempt a reversal. Chances are it wouldn't be possible to do it. And, as I"m still not sure if I'm done having children - despite the fact that I'm expecting my 6th & 7th children - I am not having it done, until I know for SURE.

Answer 3

No. I am having my tubes tied when I have my baby in Dec. Having a reversal can be dangerous if there is scar tissue. It raises the chance of having an etopic (Tubal) pregnancy, due to scar tissue in the fallopian tubes. This is why doctors ask you if you are sure that you want to have it done.

Answer 4

My sister puzzled this even though it became into too expansive and not very probably to paintings. The scientific medical doctors instructed her IVF became right into a extra effective determination, it became into extra probably to paintings. this way you will would desire to have a cesarean tho in case you fall preg.

Answer 5

Depends on the reason. But I won't be the one getting fixed, he will. For them, it's an out-patient procedure.
