What Is Tubal Ligation Reversal Surgery?
Tubal reversal is a procedure that repairs the fallopian tubes after a previous ligation, giving you back the possibility of natural conception. After the tubes have been reconnected, eggs can once again travel from the ovaries to the uterus.
The surgery uses fine, microsurgical techniques to rejoin the healthy ends of each tube while keeping the surrounding tissue intact. Once the tissue is healed, the body can resume its natural reproductive process, which allows pregnancy to happen without assisted treatment.
Your chances after tubal reversal vary with age, how your tubes were tied, and how much healthy tube remains. Large clinical summaries report pregnancy rates in the 57–84% range after reversal.
Who Can Benefit from Tubal Ligation Reversal?
Tubal ligation reversal is a great fit for:
- Individuals who’ve had a tubal ligation and want to restore their ability to conceive naturally
- Patients with a healthy remaining tube length and minimal scar tissue, confirmed through an HSG test or ultrasound
- Women with good ovarian reserve and overall reproductive health, or who have undergone an ovarian rejuvenation process
- People who prefer a natural conception path instead of IVF (In Vitro Fertilization)
- Those who’ve experienced major life changes, like a new relationship or a rekindled desire to grow their family
The Tubal Reversal Process: Step by Step
- Consultation and Evaluation
Every tubal reversal starts with a detailed consultation and fertility assessment. Dr. Foyouzi reviews your medical and surgical history, performs imaging like an HSG test, and evaluates your overall reproductive health to see if reversal or IVF provides you with the best chances for success. - Pre-Surgical Prep
Before surgery, you’ll receive clear guidance on timing, medications, and what to expect during recovery. Blood work and imaging help confirm that your tubes and ovaries are healthy enough for the procedure. - Microsurgical Repair
During your outpatient surgery, Dr. Foyouzi will use advanced microsurgical techniques to reconnect the fallopian tubes, gently removing scar tissue and preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. The surgery takes about two to three hours and is performed under anesthesia. - Recovery and Follow-Up
Most patients can go back home on the same day and resume light activity within a few days, but full recovery sometimes takes up to two weeks.. You can monitor healing through follow-up appointments, with additional imaging to confirm that the tubes remain open and functional. - Trying for Pregnancy
Once healing is complete, you can start trying for pregnancy naturally. Dr. Foyouzi and the Southern California Fertility Center team continue to support every step, with fertility monitoring and empathetic emotional care when needed.
