The NC Center for Reproductive Medicine performs tubal anastomosis (tubal ligation reversal) surgery on an outpatient basis in our state-of-the-art facility.

By anastomosis, we refer to the procedure by which our physicians repair and restore a woman’s fallopian tubes so that she will be able to again become pregnant. The microsurgery procedure and our proprietary techniques enable us to reduce recovery time, make the procedure affordable and - best of all - achieve a high pregnancy rate. The actual tubal ligation reversal surgery takes approximately 90 minutes. 

The majority of patients will have patent tubes and become pregnant within one year of their anastomosis surgery. The pregnancy rate varies by type of tubal ligation, length and health of the remaining tubal segments, a woman’s age and other factors. Furthermore, tubal reversal enables most women to conceive naturally, without having to take fertility medications.  Our medical team will consult with you to see if you're a good candidate for tubal reversal surgery or if you should choose In Vitro Fertilization (IVF).  Again, the length and health of your tubes will be a determining factor.  If we choose tubal reversal and during the procedure we see your tubes are too short or there's not enough tube remaining on the uterus, we can stop the procedure at a reduced cost and apply your balance toward In Vitro Fertilization. 

For our patients coming from out of town, you should expect to spend two days in the Raleigh / Cary area. We will schedule your preoperative consultation on the day prior to your surgery and will request that you stay at a nearby hotel the evening following your surgery so that you will be accessible to our medical staff in the event that postoperative care is required. Recovery time from the surgery is generally short and most patients are able to return to work or other normal activities within a week to 10 days.

If you do not become pregnant after one year following tubal reversal surgery at NCCRM, we will offer you a discount of $2000.00 for In Vitro Fertilization at NCCRM.
