Laparoscopic Tubal
Reanastomosis/Tubal Reversal
A tubal ligation reversal is an operation that
affords a woman who has had a tubal ligation a
chance at pregnancy again. Tubal ligation
reversal utilizes microsurgical techniques to
open and reconnect the fallopian tube segments
that remain after a tubal ligation procedure.
Typically there are two remaining segments, the
proximal tubal segment that emerges from the
uterus, and the distal tubal segment that ends
with the fimbria next to the ovary. Tubal
ligation reversal (microsurgical tubotubal
anastomosis) connects these segments. Other terms
used to describe this procedure are microsugrical
tubal reanastomosis, microsurgical tubal reversal
or microsurgical tubal repair. One menstrual
cycle after the reversal, a patient may already
attempt pregnancy.
SIDE EFFECTS
Side effects and
complications are minimal with tubal reversals.
Patient may have some nausea and incisonal
dyscomfort.
