Our Success Rate with Laparoscopic Tubal Ligation Reversal

Our pregnancy rate with laparoscopic tubal ligation reversal is 79% in patients under age 35 where two tubes were successfully reconnected.

Results (pregnancy) can vary depending on many factors, such as patient age, type of ligation, location of the obstruction, and presence or absence of other fertility factors.

These numbers are revised frequently as we evaluate new laparoscopic tubal ligation reversal cases. They have been published in the prestigious Textbook of Infertility and Assisted Reproduction by Cambridge University Press, for which we were invited to write the chapter on Laparoscopic Tubal Anastomosis in 2008.

Each case is different depending on individual variations in the way the body heals or the tendency to develop scar tissue, but in our hands, Laparoscopic Tubal Ligation Reversal has proven superior to the traditional method of open abdomen (laparotomy or mini-laparotomy), with better results and much faster recovery.
