There are two options for women who have had a previous tubal ligation and now desire to have more children: tubal reversal surgery (tubal reanastomosis) or in vitro fertilization (IVF).
Although tubal reversal surgery is not right for everyone, in many cases it is a very successful option. Many clinics offer only one option – either IVF or tubal reversal. Fertility & Women's Health Center offers both options to help a couple achieve their dream of a pregnancy. Our physicians will examine your history, operative report(s), laboratory evaluation of egg quality and, after thorough review, help you determine which is the best option for you. Few physicians offer such an individualized approach.
Pregnancy rates after tubal ligation reversal can be extremely high depending on the age of the wife and type of tubal ligation. One way to determine whether tubal reversal surgery is the best option for you is through an interpretation of the operative report from your tubal ligation. With this information, our physicians are able to provide feedback on the type of sterilization that was performed and the amount of tube that may be remaining after the reversal. We will provide you with a Medical Records Release Form to assist you with obtaining your report from the surgeon who performed your tubal ligation.
At Fertility & Women's Health Center of Louisiana, our experienced team of physicians and embryology staff combined with the use of the most advanced laboratory technologies has resulted in high pregnancy success rates of around 50 percent following in vitro fertilization for women under 35 years of age.
Being able to weigh both your options for pregnancy, tubal reversal versus in vitro fertilization, is a benefit of entrusting your care to our physicians.
