Tubal Reversal
The Basics
Microsurgical Tubal Ligation Reversal is a procedure that reconnects previously interrupted fallopian tubes using specialized magnification and techniques, creating a continuous tubal pathway to allow fertilization and natural pregnancy.
At Care Fertility Centre, we have consistently achieved a 100% success rate in restoring tubal patency, with a 90% pregnancy rate. Key factors affecting success include the woman's age, the method of initial sterilization, semen quality, and the presence of other female factors—emphasizing the importance of a thorough evaluation before surgery.
Our physicians are highly trained in Tubal Reconstructive Surgery, addressing not only tubal ligation but also conditions like endometriosis and infections.
Tubal Reversal or IVF: Which Should I Choose?
It is one of the most frequently asked questions we receive. And for us, it’s easy to answer.
Why IVF Is Better
Choosing IVF means you won’t need birth control in the future, as the fallopian tubes remain tied. IVF success rates are comparable to tubal reversals, but IVF is far less invasive and doesn't require major surgery or a hospital stay.
Why We Recommend IVF Over Tubal Reversal
Tubal reversals often involve major surgery, requiring hospitalization and extended recovery.
Costs for tubal reversal are comparable to IVF but with higher risks and lower success rates.
The ectopic pregnancy rate for tubal reversals is 20%, compared to just 1% for IVF.
Tubal reversals can take months to result in pregnancy, while IVF typically has a quicker timeline.
If tubal reversal fails to restore the tubes, IVF will still be needed.
Cost Comparison: IVF vs. Tubal Reversal
At our fertility center, the cost of a single IVF cycle is comparable to tubal reversal surgery. If the reversal surgery is unsuccessful, patients may face additional costs with a subsequent IVF cycle.
We understand the financial stress of fertility treatment, so we offer various savings programs, including medication discounts and refund packages.
