Tubal Reversal
A procedure that reconnects the fallopian tubes to restore fertility after a previous tubal ligation.
What is Tubal Reversal?
Tubal reversal surgically reconnects the fallopian tubes following a previous tubal ligation, restoring the pathway needed for eggs to travel from the ovaries to the uterus and potentially allowing for future pregnancy. Your surgeon carefully removes the blocked or damaged section of each tube and reconnects the healthy segments using fine microsurgical techniques. Success depends on several factors, including the original method of tubal ligation and the amount of healthy tube remaining, which your surgeon will evaluate beforehand. The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia.
Why is this procedure performed?
- A change in circumstances leading to a desire for future pregnancy
- A preference for tubal reversal over IVF as a path to conception
- Sufficient healthy fallopian tube remaining to reconnect
- A thorough evaluation confirming suitability for reversal
- A desire to conceive naturally rather than through assisted reproduction
How does this procedure help?
Tubal reversal offers a path back to natural conception for those who have had a change of heart following tubal ligation, with success rates depending significantly on individual factors that your surgeon evaluates beforehand. For many appropriately selected patients, it offers a meaningfully higher chance of multiple future pregnancies compared to a single IVF cycle. Recovery typically takes a few weeks, with your care team providing guidance on timing for attempting conception afterward.
