Tubal Reversal Surgery

Women who make the decision to have a tubal ligation reversal do it for a number of reasons. Some women complain of discomfort or pain after a tubal ligation and believe a reversal would ease this, others might believe they acted hastily when making the decision in the first place, for some women, a decision made while in an unhappy relationship, or thought they would not want any more children. Other women just want to feel ‘whole’ again.

The number one reason women decide on reversing tubal ligation is because they want to have more children; reasons could be anything from a child’s death or because they remarried and now want the option of having a child with their new partner. For many women, Tubal ligation reversal is an operation that can give them a new lease of life.

Tubal ligation is an operation that efficiently prevents anything from getting in or out of the fallopian tubes, in other words an egg and a sperm will never meet again. This procedure is generally seen as a permanent state. However, as it is quite normal for people to make decisions they later regret, there are most cases procedures making it possible to unblock these tubes. This is done by removing the part of the tube that has been tied and re attaching the two parts.

A surgeon can carry out a tubal ligation in different ways. A common method is to loop a surgical ligature around the fallopian tube; this is the section that is then removed thus separating the two parts of the fallopian tube. Another method quite similar is when a surgeon uses two ligatures to seal a section of the tube; the part in between is then cut out. Other common methods use burning techniques to seal the tubes, or clips and rings to close the tubes up.
