Experience is the most important indicator of whether successful tubal reversal surgery can be performed when a woman has a difficult tubal reversal situation due to short tubes, missing tubal segments, fimbriectomy, or inherent diseases of the tubes. While most doctors would be unwilling – or unable – to perform a reversal procedure in one of these situations, Dr. Gary Berger is able to repair the tubes in 98% of cases, regardless of the type of sterilization that has been performed or whether difficult situations are encountered.
Many people believe tubal sterilization is permanent and irreversible. Although tubal ligation and resection sterilization is intended to be permanent, this procedure can be reversed. Approximately 70% of patients at A Personal Choice become pregnant after a reversal of a ligation and resection procedure. A Personal Choice is the medical facility that specializes in tubal ligation reversal.
Many people, including doctors, have been told that tubal sterilization is permanent and irreversible.

The best place for women to have their tubes ‘untied’ when they have been burned is A Personal Choice – the only medical facility that specializes in reversal of tubal ligation.
The first reported tubal sterilization using bipolar electrocoagulation was in 1972.
