da Vinci Procedure for Tubal Ligation Reversal Surgery

Occasionally, a patient who has undergone a previous sterilization procedure by tubal ligation wishes another child. Although patients may request tubal reversal due to a family tragedy, most interest is expressed by women who find themselves in another relationship.

Providing the original sterilzation procedure left enough tube to reanastomse, tubal reversal is one of the most successful fertility treatments available to Dr. McLaughlin. Providing there is no serious male factor, the tubes may be rejoined by using the operating microscope and laser. Most recently, the daVinci robot system offers a more rapid recovery to accomplish rejoining the tubal segments. For your specific application, Dr. McLaughlin would review the operative note and pathology report from your sterilization procedure.
