Reversal of Tubal Ligation – Information & Facts
Women who make the decision to have a tubal ligation reversal do it for a number of reasons. Some women complain of discomfort or pain after a tubal ligation and believe a reversal would ease this, others might believe they acted hastily when making the decision in the first place, for some women, a decision made while in an unhappy relationship, or thought they would not want any more children. Other women just want to feel ‘whole’ again.
Information on In-Vitro Fertilization & Tubal Ligation Reversal
A tubal ligation procedure is undertaken only after a lot of thought and consideration as it is normally seen as something that will be permanent. Many women who do go down this route then regret it years later when they realize they do want more children. Pregnancy rates after a reversal tubal ligation are high and the covalence period is quick. This could be the option for you if you want to add to your family.
Adiana Reversal & Tubal Surgery – Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center
Although the Adiana permanent birth control system was only approved by the FDA in July 2009, already some women are reconsidering their choice to use it. What they are actually reconsidering is having their tubes blocked in any manner which is how pregnancy is prevented with tubal ligation. This change of heart has led one woman to getting a reversal via tubal surgery. It is the first Adiana reversal.
No formal data collection system exists in the USA to collect and collate the number of sterilizations performed annually. The current oft-quoted figure of 500,000 vasectomies performed per year is not an accurate count – it’s an extrapolation of various smaller studies and surveys. However, most people accept that it’s likely to be accurate. It equates to approximately 11% of the population relying on vasectomy as their primary method of birth control.
This new study was undertaken by the Department of health & Human Services. The data was collected in 2002, and the paper was published on November 18, 2005. Basically, it’s in the form of a telephone questionnaire, and there were a total of 174,026 men and women to men and women in all US states and dependencies participating in the study.
Men and women answered differently. Both men and women reported Tubal Ligation equally, men had higher percentages for vasectomy and condom use, and women had higher percentage for the pill, and lower percentage for vasectomy and condom use. The statistics below are a combination of the percentages for man and women by state.
Vasectomy was most used in Washington (25.9%), and least used in the US Virgin Islands (3.7%). Overall, the results for primary method of birth control were:-
Pill 28.3%
Tubal ligation 22.9%
Condom 17.3%
Vasectomy 16.1%
In light of these figures, the 500,000 / 11% figures are likely to be under-estimates. I have summarised the stats here.

Dear Dr. Berger & Staff,
Just wanted to take this opportunity while sending back my feedback sheet to thank you all so much for making our surgery experience so wonderful. I must say that when we first found the clinic the day before my surgery for my consult, we were surprised by the small appearance of the building. My husband & I expected a big sprawling clinic/hospital looking place. But once we entered into the reception area we were at ease. The receptionist was very kind & took a picture of us together so Dr. Berger would be able to “put a face with the name”. I thought that was great, that he thought enough of his patients to do that. We sat in the waiting area looking at & reading all the pictures of new babies & hundreds of thank you’s & blessings.
