For many women having a tubal ligation was the best choice for them. And, as with all things in life, circumstances can change and the decision is regretted. Some women that have had their tubes tied will decide it was not the right thing for them to do. Over time they may begin to try to find ways to have the procedure "undone" because they would like another child.
As time goes on and they begin talking to those in the medical community, the couple is usually told to look into IVF. Although IVF does and will help many people, not all couples can afford the expense. In this day and age the economy is struggling and many just do not have the extra cash to pay out. With IVF being so expensive and no guarantee of pregnancy, many couples have to pass on this option.
Tubal reversal surgery is a surgery where the fallopian tubes are repaired. A reversal surgeon will remove the damaged part of the fallopian tubes and then reattach the healthy remaining parts. This surgery will allow the couple to conceive in the most natural way possible. Reversal surgery has benefits over in vitro fertilization in a number of ways. First, the cost of tubal reversal surgery by the leading surgeons is about $7,000. There are no added drugs as used in IVF which can be extremely taxing on the woman's body. Another great plus with this surgery is that the couple can have as many children as they desire without added medical intervention. Of course, when the couple feels their family is completed they will have to use a form of birth control.
Reversal surgery can be performed as an outpatient procedure. Having the surgery performed as an outpatient procedure is safer due to not being exposed to sick patients. The cost of outpatient reversal surgery is less expensive because there are no added hospital expenses. With this type of surgery the patient is allowed to go back home the day after surgery. A member of the tubal reversal staff will examine the patient and once this is finished the patient and her adult companion are then able to leave the hotel.
The recuperation time following outpatient reversal is usually minimal. Most patients are feeling good a few days following the surgery. There are restrictions such as no heavy lifting. Patients who did not try to do too much immediately following surgery reported better recuperation times. As we all know, many of us try to push things too fast and the healing process can take longer.
As seen the Tubal Reversal Pregnancy Report 2009, tubal reversal actually has a better pregnancy rate following tubal ligation over IVF. With over 5000 patients being closely followed and reporting pregnancies, this is the largest tubal reversal study conducted to date.
Reversal surgery has changed the lives of thousands of couples. The surgery and advancements being made all the time has helped many couples become parents again following tubal ligation.
