Is Tubal Reversal Safe?

Tubal reversal is major surgery because it involves general anesthesia and an abdominal incision; however, tubal reversal is very safe surgery and is much safer when performed at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center than when compared to other major gynecology procedures as performed in hospitals.

Although many doctors believe tubal reversal requires an overnight hospital stay, reversing tubes does not require an overnight stay, can safely be done out-patient, and is more affordable when done as out-patient surgery without an overnight hospital stay.

This article posted by a patient of Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center titled When the SPD Manager Becomes the Patient discusses the issue of patient safety and the risk of infection.

Many health care professionals mistakenly believe tubal reversal surgery must be done in a hospital operating room and requires overnight hospital stay. Rather, the opposite is true. Tubal reversal does not have to be done in a hospital operating room and it does not require overnight stay.

Tubal reversal should be done in a safe hospital-like setting, but it does not need to be done in a hospital.
In fact, if you want your tubal reversal surgery to be really expensive then request your tubal reversal be done in a hospital operating room and request to stay overnight and you will pay in excess of $15,000! While you are at it you might as well stay several additional nights to add more cost to the entire package. While in the hospital, you may be exposed unnecessarily to a variety of hospital-acquired infections.

When you come to Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center for your tubal reversal, you will be under the care of a highly trained and respected specialist who is recognized for the improvements he has brought to the field of tubal reversal surgery over 3 decades.

Dr. Berger developed the outpatient technique for tubal ligation reversal. He has performed more than 10,000 of these procedures and has acquired the greatest experience with this operation of any reproductive surgeon worldwide.

Dr. Berger's techniques optimize the outcome and reduce recovery time and cost of tubal reversal surgery. His staff maintains an electronic patient database that provides accurate and up to date statistics about pregnancy rates after tubal reversal for his patients.

Hey Jennifer - I remember chatting with you back in the summer before I had my TR. I had mine 12/21/2007 on a Friday.

I read yesterday and you were wondering about recovery time...like I said I had mine on Friday and I went Christmas Shopping that Monday the 24th - Christmas Eve...then did all the going from house to house the next day (and I am 37 years old)-
YOU WILL DO GREAT and be up in no time.
I am so excited for you - I remember when I scheduled I wanted to shout it from the roof tops ...CONGRATS!!!!

Hi how are you doing? I remember talking to you as well! Yeah I am schudeled for a Monday so Im def hoping by Friday I can manage to go to work. I would have loved to have mine on Friday but since I do payroll on that day it was just out of the question! So have you had any BFP's since your surgery? I am so scared of being put to sleep that is the only thing I am afraid of Im not afraid of the surgery or what it is like after the surgery Im just scared to death to be put to sleep! Im just going to give it all to the LORD and he will see me through! And I know what you mean shouting it from the roof top I cant contain myself at times LOL Jennifer in NC

Posted by PookieStarnes (Member # 11020) on February 27, 2008 03:58 PM:


I have had no BFP - of course we did not even start really trying till this cycle - I wanted to heal and I wanted to see if there was improvement in PTLS. My period is back to being like it was when I was 20 - no cramps, no PMS, no NOTHING....love it!!!

I only have one tube (7cm) so I am on clomid to help me ovulate every month - so I also wanted to see how I was going to re-act to that stuff...it is kicking my tale but I will survive.

It is the best rest you will ever get and you get to sleep for hours later. AWESOME rest. You are monitored during surgery that you should have NO fear but of course that is always easier said than done. I get a little scared just because you always have that little voice in the back of your head reminding you of the what IFs but I sure don't want to be awake for it either.

I'm like you - I just said, 'Lord, take care of me - bring me out if it is your will' - must have been cause here I am still kicking.

I do wish you the best - it will just seem like a long time from today till then ... I remember counting down from 189 days till that day but of course looking back it just seems like it took no time - of course Christmas once seemed like it took forever to get here too but now that flys by too.... Enough rambling - GOOD LUCK and LONG TUBES!!!!

Hey Jennifer,
Congratulations for scheduling your date. It will be here before you know it. I am excited for you. I had my surgery on 2/13/08 and came home to an 8 yr. old who didn't realize that anything had taken place. We were amazed at how well I felt and my husband was really amazed when I walked out of the recovery room. I am sure you will do fine. I returned to work on Friday for a couple of hours after surgery on Tuesday. Good luck!!!
