What is Tubal Reversal Surgery?
Tubal reversal surgery, also known as tubal reanastomosis, is a medical procedure designed to restore fertility in women who have previously undergone tubal ligation or “getting their tubes tied.” Tubal ligation is a surgical method of permanent contraception in which the fallopian tubes are either cut, sealed, or blocked to prevent the passage of eggs from the ovaries to the uterus. Tubal reversal, on the other hand, aims to reconnect or reopen the fallopian tubes, allowing eggs to once again travel down the tubes and potentially meet sperm for fertilization within the uterus.
The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and involves making small incisions in the lower abdomen to access the blocked or cut ends of the fallopian tubes. The surgeon carefully removes any damaged or blocked portions and then rejoins the healthy segments of the tubes using fine sutures. This delicate surgical process requires a skilled and experienced surgeon, and its success rate can vary depending on various factors such as the type of tubal ligation performed and the patient’s individual reproductive health. After a successful tubal reversal, some women may be able to conceive naturally, offering them the opportunity to expand their families after a previous decision for permanent contraception.
Success Rate for Tubal Reversal Procedures
The success rate for tubal reversal procedures can vary depending on several factors, including the patient’s age, the method used for the original tubal ligation, the length and health of the remaining fallopian tube segments, and the skill of the surgeon performing the procedure.
Generally, success rates for tubal reversal range from 40% to 90%, with higher success rates often seen in younger patients with more healthy and longer remaining fallopian tube segments. It’s essential for individuals considering tubal reversal to consult with a skilled reproductive surgeon like Dr Pankaj Singhal who can assess their specific circumstances and provide a more accurate estimate of their chances for success.
Recovery Time After the Tubal Reversal Procedure
After the surgery, you may experience some discomfort, pain, or mild cramping, which is normal and can be managed with pain medications prescribed by your surgeon. It’s common for women to be up and walking within a few hours after the procedure.
Complete recovery typically takes a few weeks, during which you should avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting. Most women can return to work within 1 to 2 weeks if their job does not involve physically demanding tasks. However, it’s essential to follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions carefully, which may include guidelines on when you can resume sexual activity and the use of contraception until you’re ready to conceive.
Cost of Tubal Reversal in Long Island New York
The cost of tubal reversal in Long Island, New York, can vary depending on the specific medical facility, the surgeon’s experience, and the complexity of the procedure. Generally, tubal reversal procedures in the New York area tend to be on the higher end of the cost spectrum due to the higher cost of living and medical expenses in this region.
The cost can range from $5,000 to $10,000 or more. Some insurance plans may cover a portion of the cost, but many do not, as tubal reversal is often considered an elective procedure for a non-threatening medical condition.
Patients considering tubal reversal should schedule an appointment with a qualified reproductive surgeon to get a personalized cost estimate and discuss payment options. It’s also advisable to inquire about financing options or payment plans if the upfront cost is a concern.
What Would Happen If I Had Undergone the Essure Procedure?
Reversing a tubal ligation performed using the Essure procedure to restore fertility can be a complex and challenging medical process. Essure is intended to provide permanent contraception by inducing tissue growth that blocks the fallopian tubes. Reversing this procedure involves attempting to remove or bypass the Essure coils and reconnect the fallopian tubes to enable natural conception. However, the success of tubal reversal after Essure depends on various factors, including the condition of the fallopian tubes, the extent of tissue growth caused by Essure, and the skill of the surgeon. It’s important to note that success rates for tubal reversal after Essure tend to be lower compared to reversing traditional tubal ligations due to the unique challenges presented by Essure.
Individuals considering tubal reversal after Essure should undergo a thorough evaluation by a specialized reproductive surgeon or fertility specialist. This evaluation will help determine the feasibility of the procedure in their specific case and provide insight into the potential risks and benefits. In cases where tubal reversal may not be feasible or successful, alternative fertility treatments, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), may be recommended as an effective way to achieve pregnancy without the need to reverse the Essure procedure.
What Tests Are Needed Before Tubal Reversal Surgery?
Before undergoing tubal reversal surgery, several tests and evaluations are typically recommended to assess a woman’s overall health, the condition of the fallopian tubes, and the likelihood of a successful procedure.
These tests may include:
- Hysterosalpingogram (HSG)
- Blood Tests
- Pelvic Ultrasound
- 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.
