Looking at Your Options
Tubal Reversal
Tubal reversal is a highly effective procedure designed to restore fertility after a prior decision to undergo tubal ligation. While tubal ligation is generally considered a permanent form of contraception, advancements in microscopic surgical techniques now make it possible to reverse this procedure.
Research indicates that approximately 24% of Australian women choose tubal ligation as their preferred method of contraception. However, many later regret this decision, often due to entering a new relationship or a renewed desire to have children.
If you are considering tubal reversal, the first step is a comprehensive assessment to determine if the procedure is suitable for you. Key factors include your age, the specific type of tubal ligation performed (e.g., clips or rings), and the health of your partner’s sperm. A consultation with Dr Elzeiny is essential to provide personalized advice and ensure you receive evidence-based guidance.
Expert Specialist Care, Proven Success
Why Choose Dr. Elzeiny for Your Tubal Reversal?
Dr. Hossam Elzeiny is a leading fertility specialist and a recognized expert in microscopic tubal reversal surgery. His approach combines precision and innovation to deliver excellent outcomes with minimal recovery time.
Dr. Elzeiny’s advanced tubal reversal technique involves
- A small incision (3–4 cm) in the lower abdomen, discreetly positioned in the natural crease.
- Minimal time under general anesthesia, resulting in reduced recovery time and a short hospital stay.
- Use of ultra-fine sutures (1/3rd the thickness of human hair) under a high-powered microscope to meticulously reconnect the fallopian tubes.
- Testing for success during the procedure by injecting dye to confirm the tubes are open and functional.
This careful and precise process ensures the highest chances of success while minimizing postoperative discomfort.
What to Expect After Surgery
- Recovery: Patients typically return home the day after surgery, with no drains or metal retractors used, reducing postoperative pain and discomfort.
- Pregnancy: You may begin trying to conceive after your second menstrual cycle post-surgery.
- Follow-Up Care: Once you achieve pregnancy, a blood test will be performed to confirm implantation in the uterus, as tubal reversal slightly increases the risk of ectopic pregnancy.
