Mom with second Essure reversal baby, Emily Ann.
Reversing Essure is possible if you are hoping for another baby. Removing Essure without a hysterectomy is possible if you are having symptoms after Essure.
Most health care providers are not aware Essure inserts can be safely removed without a hysterectomy.
Dr. Monteith is a reversal specialist who helps women restore natural fertility through Essure reversal surgery and treats women with symptoms from Essure with Essure removal surgery.
Essure inserts can be removed without a hysterectomy and Essure can be reversed and allow the chance for natural conception and pregnancy.
Why is Dr. Monteith The Best Reversal Surgeon?
Dr. Monteith was the first surgeon to publish reports in the medical literature about successful pregnancy after reversal of Essure sterilization. Since his first medical case reports, Dr. Monteith has helped many women with Essure become pregnant.
Other doctors say they reverse Essure but you rarely see evidence of their success. Continue reading for more information.

Dr. Monteith
Emily Ann was born on August 28, 2015 and she was our second Essure reversal baby.
Our first Essure reversal baby was born on September 16 2013. Words can never describe our joy. My husband and I were told we would never be able to conceive again. Two babies later that proved not to be true.

How Is Essure Reversed?
Essure Reversal Baby Royce
Dr. Monteith performs tubouterine implantation to reverse Essure sterilization.
Essure reversal is performed as an out-patient surgery by making a 4 inch skin incision just over the pubic hair line. The Essure devices and the surrounding tubal scar tissue are removed. The remaining healthy fallopian tubes are then reinserted into the uterine cavity.
Essure reversal surgery is safe, can be completed as an out-patient procedure in 80 minutes, and the chance of pregnancy is 35% to 40%. Most Essure reversal patients will become pregnant within the first year and multiple pregnancies are possible.

Can Essure cause symptoms?
Dr Monteith reverses Essure in is AAAHC accredited surgical facility in Raleigh, NC
The medical literature is clear Essure can cause abnormal symptoms in some women.
Up to 8% of women can experience pain for 12 months or more after Essure insertion. Women with Essure related symptoms commonly complain of pain, abnormal bleeding, skin rashes, hair loss, fatigue, dizziness and joint pain.
Dr. Monteith removes Essure devices during out-patient surgery by making a small incision over the pubic hair line. The Essure devices are removed en-bloc and this allows for intact device removal with the surrounding scar tissue and without disturbing the PET fibers.
Essure removal surgery can be completed by leaving the tubes closed so pregnancy does not occur or tubouterine implantation can be performed to allow for a chance of pregnancy.
