Tubal Ligation Reversal in Miami
Reproductive microsurgery: Tubal ligation or ligation is a contraceptive method (method to prevent pregnancy) in which the tubes (or tubes) are surgically tied, cut, or burned to prevent the passage of eggs from the ovaries to the uterus. Tubal reanastomosis or tubal ligation reversal is a surgery in which the damaged part of the tubes is removed, unblocking the passage inside the tubes and thereby restoring the patient’s fertility. This surgery may be an option for women who, for various reasons, wish to become pregnant again after undergoing tubal ligation.
What Is the Chance of Success?
The success of this surgery depends on several factors:
- The length and vitality of the horn segments to be joined;
- The skill of the microsurgeon (surgeon with experience in microsurgery);
- The woman’s age at the time of the reversal surgery;
- The method used for tubal ligation;
- Amount of scar tissue in the surgery region;
- Quality of the partner’s spermogram and presence of other infertility factors.
Obtaining tubal patency, that is, unblocking the tubes, is around 70% to 80%. However, not all of these women are able to get pregnant, as the tubes may not function properly or there may be other factors that make pregnancy difficult. Pregnancy rates after tubal reanastomosis are 50 to 60%.
What Does the Surgery Involve?
This surgery can be performed by laparotomy (traditional surgery with a transverse cut just below the pubic hairline, similar to a cesarean section) or by laparoscopy. It is usually performed within 2 to 3 hours, using general anesthesia. Even when traditional surgery is chosen, a laparoscopy is performed before surgery to evaluate the possibility of performing the anastomosis. If possible, you can use a microscope or magnifying glass for better visualization when connecting the small parts of the tubes. Extremely delicate threads are used to join these parts together.
Normally, the patient can go home after one or two days of hospitalization. After surgery, your doctor will prescribe pain medication and other specific instructions as needed. Most patients return to their normal activities within 2 weeks.
What are the Risks?
The risks are rare, but as with any surgery, they include a potential risk of anesthetic complications and infection. After a tubal ligation reversal in Miami, the risk of an ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy that occurs in the tube itself) increases fivefold, reaching rates of up to 5% in some cases.
Are You a Candidate for Tubal Ligation Reversal in Miami, Florida?
You are a candidate for surgery if there are no medical contraindications to your pregnancy if the condition of your tube is suitable for fusion, and if your husband’s (partner’s) sperm count is normal. Remember that the chances of success decrease as you age.
What Is Needed before Surgery?
Medical history and physical examination;
- Husband (partner) spermogram;
- Hysterosalpingography (X-ray showing the uterus and tubes).
- Additional tests may be requested depending on each particular case.
