Quite often after undergoing a tubal ligation, a woman desires to have her tubes untied. Thus begins the search for doctors who specialize in reversing tied tubes.

It is likely you will begin your search for knowledge about who and what is available through using the Internet. Indeed, that is where you found this article, is it not? The Internet can be a useful tool in making your decisions for reversing your tied tubes.

Usually the search begins by trying to find someone in your local area who will perform tubal reversals. While you will probably find someone who will do the procedure, what you are missing out on is finding someone who specializes in doing tubal reversals.

While the doctors may tell you they do tubal reversals, if they do not specialize in them, then you might be pushed to other choices. For instance, a fertility doctor/clinic which also does IVF will push you toward that option. It makes sense to them. Since on average, IVF requires three cycles with a cost associated with each try, they can make more money that way. With the surgery, it’s one procedure and you can try over and over again to “make a baby”.

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?

Another thing you get with the specialist is a trained team who also does the surgery every day. They know what to expect in a tubal anastomosis. It becomes like a well choreographed dance within the operating room. Compare that to what type of team you will get from a doctor who does this a couple times a year. The team members may be professionals, but have they even seen a tubal reversal done before much less participated in one?

If you are interested in really finding a tubal reversal doctor who has years of experience and works with the same team every day, then start your search with Dr. Gary Berger of Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center. Not only does he have the years of experience and was trained by those that pioneered this surgery, he is the one who developed it as an outpatient procedure. You can’t find a better qualified physician for reversing tied tubes in the whole world. Yes, I make that as a statement of fact.
