About Tubotubal Anastomosis

Tubotubal anastomosis, often called tubal reanastomosis or tubal reversal, is a specialized microsurgical procedure performed by an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist to restore fertility in women who have previously undergone tubal ligation (having their 'tubes tied'). The surgeon carefully reconnects the separated segments of the fallopian tube, re-establishing a clear pathway for the egg to travel from the ovary to the uterus, allowing for natural conception. This delicate surgery is performed under general anesthesia, typically using a minimally invasive laparoscopic approach, which involves small abdominal incisions, a camera, and specialized microsurgical instruments. Success rates vary based on factors like the patient's age, the type of initial ligation, and the remaining tubal length, but it offers a valuable alternative to in vitro fertilization (IVF) for many women seeking to become pregnant again.

Key Highlights

    Offers a chance for natural conception after a previous tubal ligation.Can be a cost-effective alternative to multiple cycles of IVF over time.Performed using minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques for smaller scars and faster recovery.Utilizes advanced microsurgery to ensure precise, delicate reconnection of the fallopian tubes.Does not involve the use of donor eggs or sperm, allowing for a biological pregnancy with one's partner.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Patient desire for future fertility following a prior tubal ligation (sterilization).
  • Healthy remaining segments of the fallopian tubes confirmed via imaging (like a hysterosalpingogram).
  • Patient is in good general and reproductive health, with a favorable ovarian reserve.
  • Absence of other significant factors causing infertility (e.g., severe male factor, uterine abnormalities).
  • A personal or religious preference for natural conception over assisted reproductive technologies like IVF.

How to prepare

  • Comprehensive fertility evaluation, including assessment of ovarian reserve and partner's semen analysis.
  • Imaging tests like a hysterosalpingogram (HSG) to evaluate the remaining fallopian tube segments.
  • Pre-operative counseling to discuss success rates, alternatives (like IVF), and realistic expectations.
  • Routine pre-surgical tests: blood work, ECG, and possibly a chest X-ray as advised.
  • Fasting for 8-12 hours before the surgery as per anesthesia guidelines.
  • Discontinuation of certain medications (like blood thinners) as directed by the surgeon.

Risks & possible complications

  • General surgical risks: Reaction to anesthesia, bleeding, or infection.
  • Risk of damage to surrounding organs (intestines, bladder, blood vessels).
  • Formation of scar tissue (adhesions) inside the abdomen, which could affect fertility.
  • Failure of the procedure, where the tubes do not remain open or functional.
  • Increased risk of an ectopic (tubal) pregnancy following the procedure.
  • Possibility that pregnancy is not achieved, necessitating consideration of IVF.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Hospital stay is typically short, often 1-2 days for observation.
  • Patients may experience mild abdominal pain, shoulder tip pain (from gas used in laparoscopy), and vaginal spotting for a few days.
  • Pain medication will be prescribed to manage discomfort.
  • Avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and sexual intercourse for 2-3 weeks as advised.
  • Keep incision sites clean and dry; watch for signs of infection (redness, swelling, discharge).
  • A follow-up appointment is scheduled to check healing, usually within 2 weeks.
  • Patients are generally advised to wait for one normal menstrual cycle before attempting to conceive.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 1-2 days
  • checked Expected recovery time: 2-3 weeks
