ok i have just recieved my op report from my tubal ligation and im not sure what some of it means can you help .......the right tube was grasped in the mid isthmic portion and traced to the fimbriated end . the tube is then doubly ligated using 0 plain ties times two .same with left .pathology report.....specimen #1 labled right tube and it consists of a tubular segment measuring 1.7 cm in length . specimen #2 is labled left tube and it consists of a tubular segment measuring 1.5 cm in length. final diagnosis : left and right fallopian tubes (lumen present).. ok so i dont understand were they just cut no ties clamps nothing ? and was too much taken off for reversal ? and where were they cut ? hope someone can help thanks...

Doubly ligated means that ligatures were placed at two places on the tube, and a section was cut from between them. On the right, the section was 1.7 cm long; on the left, it was 1.5 cm long. That means there is a ligated closure at the end of the tube leading from the uterus, and at the end of the tube coming from the ovary, on left and right sides. In other words, a piece of suture tied around each end. The mid isthmic portion is near the uterus. The fimbriated end is at the ovary. So the section nearest the ovary is where the ligation took place..A centimeter is roughly .39 inches. Whether that is enough for reversal, I have no idea.

By what I understand of it they were both cut (the right by 1.7cm, and the left by 1.5 cm) and tied (plain ties x2). I am not sure about being able to be reversed. but IMO I wouldn't have had a tubal ligation if I had any inkling of wanting to have more kids. I hope this helped.

they were tied with the 0 plain ties it's like suture material, it's what we use where I work.
You had a tubal but want a reversal? I'm not really sure if too much was taken for a reversal, patients are usually counseled that if you ever want it reversed you shouldnt have it done in the first place.
They were probably cut in the middle, there isnt many different places to cut them.
