What is Tubal Ligation, and can it be Successfully Reversed?
The reversal procedure uses microsurgery to join the tubes together
. It works better when the diameter of the women's cut tubes are of similar size, as this makes conjoining them more successful. Fallopian tubes are about eight inches long, and will be about six inches following reversal. But conception can still be possible.
Women who have reversed tubal ligation generally have IVF to help them conceive, and there is an increased risk of an ectopic pregnancy once the tubes are rejoined.
