If you have had your tubes tied and would like to become pregnant again, tubal reversal surgery is probably the best option for you. Tubal ligation reversal is the most successful and cost-effective way to become pregnant for 98% of women who have had a tubal ligation and now want to have another baby.
What Is Your Age?
The natural fertility rate declines with age. Pregnancy rates after tubal reversal, therefore, are highest for younger women. Although pregnancy rates are lower for older women, you can still become pregnant after age 40 if you are ovulating and have periods.
Dr. Berger has kept detailed records of his patients and has compiled a comprehensive follow-up study on pregnancy after tubal reversal for all of his patients. His patients under 30 have a 77% pregnancy rate after having a tubal reversal procedure. The pregnancy rate is 72% for women ages 30-34 , 62% for women 35-39, and 34% for those 40 years of age and older after tubal reversal surgery performed by Dr. Berger.
What Type of Tubal Ligation Did You Have?
There are several ways that a doctor can tie a woman’s fallopian tubes. Women with the ring or clip method of tubal ligation have a 74% pregnancy rate after undergoing tubal reversal surgery. Women with the tubal coagulation technique have a 65% pregnancy rate, while women with tubal ligation and resection methods have a 62% probability for pregnancy after reversal surgery.
If you aren’t sure what type of tubal ligation you had, don’t worry! You can get a copy of your operative and pathology reports relating to your tubal ligation, and fax them to A Personal Choice at (919) 967-8637. Please attach the Fax Cover Sheet so we can reach you when your records arrive. Dr. Berger will review the operative report at no charge and we will contact you regarding possible outcomes for you following reversal surgery.
How To Choose The Best Tubal Reversal Doctor?
The most important question to ask is how many tubal reversal surgeries the doctor has performed. The more experience the doctor has, the better your outcome will be. Dr. Berger has the most experience with this operative procedure of any reproductive surgeon in the world and has performed more than 6,000 tubal reversals! He is considered by other medical professionals in the US and abroad to be the best tubal reversal doctor.
Also ask if the doctor performs tubal reversals on an outpatient basis. Outpatient tubal reversal reduces cost and avoids the risks of hospitalization, such as infection with hospital-acquired bacteria. A Personal Choice is the only center worldwide that is dedicated exclusively to outpatient tubal ligation reversal, and Dr. Berger is the only doctor who specializes in and limits his practice to outpatient tubal reversal surgery.
