Looking for a Surgeon for Reversing Tied Tubes

By Sandra Wilson

There are many reasons why a woman would want to have her tubes untied after having tubal ligation. Whatever those reasons may be, the search for doctors who will perform surgery reversing tied tubes begins.

Many women begin their search on the Internet. It's so wonderful these days to have this means of finding information about tubal reversal. Just by reading, you will learn what questions you need to ask and answer the questions you already have.

That search, whether on line or off, usually starts with looking for tubal reversal doctors in your general area. While this could end up with a couple of surgeons to look into further, you may be missing the boat by not starting your search for a doctor who actually specializes in tubal ligation reversals.

Whoever you locate in your area, unless you are very lucky, will most likely not be someone who specializes in doing tubal reversals. While they will do the operation for you, it is just one of many other things they do. If you look into a fertility clinic where IVF is available, as it is at most fertility clinics, you will be urged to have IVF instead of the operation in the vast majority of cases. With the operation, there is a one time cost and then you try as much as you want to create a new life. With IVF, on average, you will have to try and pay for an average of 3 cycles.

Even if you do not take that into account, just how much experience will your local doctor have in actually doing the procedure. Once a year? Maybe ten times a year? Wouldn't you rather have a surgeon who specialized in this field of reproductive endocrinology and performed this surgery every week day? Wouldn't you rather have one with years of experience?

Not only should you be concerned about the inexperience of the doctor by choosing one who is not a tubal reversal specialist, you are choosing a surgery team that are not specialists either. Do you think that by selecting a doctor who only does this a couple times a year, you are getting a well trained tubal reversal surgical staff? I think not. While they may be surgical professionals, they will simply not perform as a well oiled machine where each knows exactly what to expect and where to be when. They simply don't have the experience of the surgical team of the specialist who performs the surgery every week day with the same people.

To find the tubal reversal doctor who will provide you with the best experience, start your search with Dr. Berger from Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center. Yes, he is located in North Carolina which could mean paying for a trip to have the surgery done by him. Women come from around the world to have him perform this surgery as they know that his experience and background make him the best qualified physician for reversing tied tubes. Do the research yourself and you will see this is fact. - 15437
