What is Tubal Ligation Reversal?
Tubal ligation reversal, also known as tubal reversal or tubal sterilization reversal, is a surgical procedure aimed at restoring fertility in women who have previously undergone tubal ligation. Tubal ligation is a permanent contraception method that involves the surgical blocking, sealing, or cutting of the fallopian tubes to prevent the passage of eggs from the ovaries to the uterus.
However, some women who have had tubal ligation may later change their minds and desire to become pregnant again. In such cases, tubal ligation reversal involves the meticulous surgical reconnection or repair of the fallopian tubes, allowing the possibility of natural conception.
Tubal Ligation Reversal Success Rate
The success rate of tubal ligation reversal can vary widely and is influenced by several factors, including the surgical technique used in the original ligation, the length and condition of the remaining fallopian tubes, the woman’s age, and her overall reproductive health. On average, the success rate for achieving pregnancy after tubal ligation reversal is estimated to be around 40% to 85%. However, it’s important to note that success rates tend to decrease with age, as fertility naturally declines.
Women who had their tubes originally blocked or sealed with clips or rings tend to have higher success rates compared to those who had their tubes cut and tied, as the latter procedure can lead to shorter, more damaged tubes that are more challenging to repair. The expertise of the surgeon performing the procedure also plays a crucial role in determining success, as a skilled surgeon can optimize the chances of a successful reconnection of the fallopian tubes.
Recovery Time After the Tubal Ligation Reversal
The recovery time after a tubal ligation reversal can vary from person to person, but typically, it ranges from a few days to several weeks. After the procedure, most women can expect to spend one to two days in the hospital or surgical center for observation, and during this time, they may experience some discomfort and pain. Pain medication is usually prescribed to manage any post-operative discomfort. It’s important to follow the surgeon’s post-operative instructions carefully, which may include recommendations for rest, avoiding heavy lifting, and refraining from sexual activity for a certain period.
Pain After Tubal Ligation Reversal
Pain after a tubal ligation reversal is common and can vary in intensity among individuals. Many women experience mild to moderate abdominal discomfort or pain in the days following the surgery. This post-operative pain is typically managed with prescription or over-the-counter pain medications as recommended by the surgeon. In some cases, women may also experience localized incisional pain or discomfort at the site of the surgical incision, which is usually minimal and improves as the incision heals. It’s important to follow your healthcare provider’s post-operative instructions, including taking prescribed medications and avoiding strenuous activities to minimize discomfort and promote a smoother recovery.
Cost of Tubal Reversal in Long Island New York
The cost of tubal ligation reversal in Long Island, New York, can vary depending on several factors, including the specific clinic or healthcare provider you choose, the complexity of your case, and whether you have insurance coverage that may contribute to the cost.
On average, the cost of tubal ligation reversal can range from $5,000 to $10,000 or more. This price typically includes the surgeon’s fees, facility fees, anesthesia, and post-operative care. However, it’s essential to keep in mind that there may be additional costs for pre-operative testing, consultation fees, and any unforeseen complications that might arise during the procedure.
What Tests Are Needed Before Tubal Reversal Surgery?
Before undergoing tubal ligation reversal surgery, several tests and evaluations are typically conducted to ensure the procedure’s safety and effectiveness. The specific tests can vary depending on the surgeon and the individual’s medical history, but some common pre-operative assessments include:
These tests may include:
- Hysterosalpingogram (HSG)
- Blood Tests
- Pelvic Ultrasound
- Hormone Testing
- Semen Analysis (for the male partner)
- Recent Pap Smear Results
- EKG and Chest X Ray Results

Kimberly Quinde
Dr. Singhal was the doctor who took care of my mother Ivonne Guevara. My mother had gone to 2 other doctors who refused to take care of her fibroid. She was in pain for years and her fibroid had grown really big without her knowing. When my mom went to Dr Singhal she was met with calmness and reassurance that everything will be ok and he would help her get better. Dr. Singhal was so kind and caring all throughout the process.
He took all her worries away and my mom highly recommends him. She hopes every doctor can be as great as Dr. Singhal.
Everyone in his office was so nice to my mom and it was a great experience given the circumstances.
