The tubal reversal procedure offers a more affordable alternative to IVF.
It also allows couples the opportunity to conceive in a natural way – without the additional concern of a multiple birth.
With today’s advanced surgical techniques and the skill of our experienced surgeons, tubal reversal surgery may be done as an outpatient procedure with a small incision and short recovery period.

Risks of tubal reversal surgery
All surgeries carry some risks, including anesthesia, bleeding, infection, and injury. Let’s talk about them.
Anesthesia. For a healthy woman, this risk is low. The board certified anesthesiologists who come to CARE Fertility to do your procedure will talk with you and fully answer any concerns and questions you might have prior to the procedure.
Bleeding. The typical blood loss from a tubal reversal surgery is just a few tablespoons of blood.
Infection. Every surgery carries the possibility of infection, but this is rare.Injury to bowel or bladder. This risk is low in women who have not had multiple abdominal surgeries.
Increased chance for an ectopic pregnancy. Tubal pregnancy is possible, but unlikely. The incidence of ectopic pregnancy after a tubal reversal is 3% to 5%. If you are at least 2 days late for your menstrual period after your reversal, call our office for a pregnancy test.
Possibility of scarring of the tubes. The tubal lumen that are sewn together are quite tiny and occasionally, scar tissue may form during the healing process.
