subject: Tubal Ligation Reversal Facts and Info [print this page] When it comes to the desire to be a mother, the interest is universal no matter what country a woman lives in. For women who have had their tubes tied, the options seem like they would be very limited but that is not necessarily the case. In fact, a procedure that has become more popular recently is called a tubal ligation reversal. Although it is a very successful procedure in many cases, many doctors and patients don't even know that it's a possibility.
Thousands of women have their tubes tied each year for various reasons. They may truly be finished with having their family in which case this procedure is a great thing. Because it's a permanent form of female sterilization, it takes away the concern and worry about accidentally getting pregnant. However, sometimes women have the procedure and then later realize that they had made a mistake. For these women, the idea of having another baby becomes vitally important.
The surgeons at the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center in North Carolina have seen a huge influx of patients from all across the globe who desired to have their tubal ligation reversed. Because there are only a handful of doctors across the world that do this kind of surgery, the center sees quite a few women from different countries. In fact, they recently had a positive pregnancy test from a patient who came all the way from Australia two years ago to have her tubal ligation reversed.
Of course, not every woman is a good candidate for a tubal ligation reversal. There are many factors that the surgeons must consider before going forward with the procedure. One of the main factors is what kind of tubal ligation the woman had in the first place. This can be observed on her surgical report which the surgeon will want to see before proceeding any further. In addition, the remaining length of her tubes is another important factor as the surgeon will need to have enough fallopian tube length to reconnect.
