Tubal Reversal

Tubal reversal (untying tubes) refers to a surgical procedure that restores patency of the fallopian tubes after their ligation. The procedure is highly successful, with average pregnancy rates in the 60-70% range, being higher in younger patients and lower in an older population. The success of the procedure is based on the couple’s fertility potential (age or male factor), the type of ligation performed (clip, ring, cutting, tying, burning, removal of the tube), and the amount of tube left and the health of the fimbria.
