Tubal ligation reversal: A solution for women who want to get pregnant after tubal ligation. Tubal ligation is a surgical procedure to sterilize women by cutting, tying, or blocking the fallopian tubes. This prevents eggs from being fertilized by sperm and is considered a permanent form of birth control. However, some women may change their minds about having children after having a tubal ligation. In these cases, tubal ligation reversal surgery may be an option to restore fertility.
Tubal ligation reversal is a microsurgical procedure to reconnect the fallopian tubes. It is a complex surgery that requires specialized training and experience. The success rate of tubal ligation reversal varies depending on the skill of the surgeon, the type of tubal ligation that was performed, and the length of time since the original surgery. However, the overall success rate is around 50-75%.
