Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center Welcomes Dr. Split

Dr. James Split, a board certified anesthesiologist, is the newest member of the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center staff. Although only 4 tubal reversal surgeries are performed each day at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center, there are 2 anesthesiologists and a nurse anesthetist on staff. The primary responsibility of the anesthesia department is to ensure patients' safety during surgery and comfort during recovery. Many of Dr. Berger's patients who are having their tubes untied will be speaking with Dr. Split as a part of their preoperative evaluation and will meet him on the day prior to or on the day of their tubal ligation reversals.

In the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center Blog Dr. Berger welcomes Dr. Split.

It is a happy occasion to introduce another new member of the staff of Chapel Hill Surgical Center. Dr. James Split is a Board Certified Anesthesiologist. He has worked at Chapel Hill Surgical Center since December 2007. He previously lived and worked in Greensboro, North Carolina for the last 18 months. Before moving to North Carolina, Dr. Split practiced medicine in Michigan for 25 years. He obtained his medical degree at the University of Michigan in 1979 and practiced Emergency Medicine for the first 11 years of his career. He both practiced and taught Emergency medicine in an Emergency Medicine Residency and held a clinical faculty position at Michigan State University. In 1990, he returned to the University of Michigan to train in anesthesiology. He completed his anesthesiology residency in 1993 and has been in the full time practice of anesthesiology since then. Dr. Split is a member of the American Society of Anesthesiologists and The Society for Ambulatory Anesthesia.

Dr. Berger’s Comment

The highest priority for patients who come to me for tubal reversal surgery to untie tubes is patient safety during and after surgery. This is ensured by the involvement of medical professionals who are the most highly trained and qualified specialists. Our two anesthesiologists are certified by the American Board of Anesthesiology. The anesthesiologist is the physician responsible for the monitoring and care of patients while they are asleep during their tubal reversal procedure and for their safe and comfortable recovery in the post anesthesia care unit (PACU). Dr. Split’s background in Emergency Medicine gives him an added dimension of knowledge and experience. On behalf of all of our staff, I am very pleased to welcome Dr. Split to Chapel Hill Surgical Center and Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center.

   Patients are often very apprehensive about their anesthesia for the tubal reversal surgery. Dr. Split is extremely friendly and I think he does a great job of putting patients fears aside and helping them to feel comfortable about their upcoming procedure.
