Tubal reversal surgery can be done on women who have had their tubes tied twenty years ago or less than one year. There are many reasons that cause a woman to change her mind and desire more children after a previous sterilization. The desire for more children can happen immediately after tubal ligation or it can happen months or even years later.

Summary
Results of the most recent and largest study of pregnancies and pregnancy outcomes after tubal reversal surgery are now available from the Tubal Reversal Pregnancy Study Report 2007. This is a prospective observational study of over 3000 women who had their tubal reversal procedures performed by Dr. Gary Berger during the 5 year period 2001-2005. The overall pregnancy rate after tubal reversal was 69%. Age at the time of reversal surgery was an important factor associated with pregnancies and their outcomes. Age-specific pregnancy rates were: 82% for women under 30, 76% for ages 30-34, 67% for ages 35-39, and 41% for women 40 years or older. Pregnancy outcomes were also associated with age. Younger women had lower miscarriages rates and higher birth rates than older women.

A couple of excerpts:
“‘The ethical dilemma is that (Project Prevention) has a good goal, but is it taking advantage of someone who doesn’t have a lot of economic options. Is the money a coercion, does it force them to close their reproductive options,’ said professor Brian Stiltner, chairman of the Philosophy and Religious Studies at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield. …’There is a general principle in research ethics to not give financial incentives big enough to be the primary reason for people to make a decision.’”
