Reversal of a Tubal Ligation
The chances of conceiving after a tubal ligation are slim but not non-existent. In order to decrease the risk of accidental conception, tubal ligations normally involve the burning, tying or cutting of the fallopian tubes. For this reason, reversing the procedure can be difficult. There are two options for reversing a tubal ligation, namely, rejoining her tubes and in vitro fertilization. Before considering either of these options she should see her doctor and evaluate the extent of damage to her tubes, her general health, and her overall chances of getting pregnant in order to avoid any unnecessary surgery.

Rejoining a woman's fallopian tubes after a tubal ligation under optimal conditions has a success rate of 70-80%. If there are any problems, such as short remaining tubes, or damage to the tubes, the rates are much lower. The rate of success is decreased for women whose tubes have been burned, due to more extensive tubal damage. There is also a much greater risk of ectopic pregnancy with rejoined tubes. This is because there is often scarring and narrowing of the tubes where they are rejoined. The ovum may be too large to pass through the constricted portion, yet it can still be fertilized. Success has also been found to depend on the age of the woman, the technique of ligation, tubal length after rejoining, and if one or both tubes are rejoined.

The second option is in vitro fertilization. Varying with the clinic involved, the success rate is about 10-30%. The success rate is towards the higher end of this range for women under 35 and toward the lower end of the range for women over 40. It is important to consider that this procedure carries the possibility of an increased risk of ovarian cancer. The woman must be given doses of female hormones to stimulate the production of several eggs in one cycle. This large dose of hormones is thought to be the cause of cancer in some women twenty or thirty years after the procedure. The studies are not yet clear on this issue, because the procedure has not been performed on enough people for a long enough time to know for certain.

In any case, when the hormones are given, the woman usually produces several eggs, which are removed from her body via a needle inserted through the vaginal wall. The eggs are fertilized outside the body and then implanted in the womb, simply skipping over the fallopian tubes entirely. If fertilization is successful, it is important to remember that there is a higher rate of spontaneous termination with in vitro fertilization. There is also a higher rate of multiple births. Multiple birth pregnancies, especially if more than three, pose additional health risks to the mother. In addition, the likelihood of children born with complications is much higher.

If a woman decides to explore one of these options further, she should ask many questions of the potential health providers. Reversal procedures are expensive (about $8000) and not typically covered by insurance, so the financial aspect of this should also be considered. Check out the doctor's credentials, ask for references of couples who were not able to have a child, ask for statistics on success rates, and see if any lawsuits have been brought against the clinic you are considering using.
