What is a tubal ligation reversal?
Tubal ligation (sometimes called “having your tubes tied”) is an operation that prevents pregnancy by tying, cutting or burning your fallopian tubes. A tubal ligation blocks your fallopian tubes so that an egg and a s***m can’t meet. As a result, fertilization can’t take place.
After tubal ligation, the only options for becoming pregnant is either tubal ligation reversal surgery or in vitro fertilization (IVF). You don’t need fallopian tubes to become pregnant with IVF. Both options have their pros and cons.
Tubal ligation reversal is surgery to undo a tubal ligation. A tubal ligation reversal reconnects or reopens your tubes, creating a passageway for eggs and s***m to unite so that conception can occur. It reverses a tubal ligation, allowing you to become pregnant again.
Tubal ligation reversal is also called tubal reversal, tubal sterilization reversal and tubal reanastomosis.
