Question 1

what is turp reversal?

Accepted Answer

No such thing: TURP stands for transurethral resection of the prostate. It is a procedure  done through the urethra to unblock a blockage caused by an enlarged prostate. It cannot be reversed but prostate tissue can grow back with time,especially if the initial procedure was incompletely performed.  Are you  sure you are not thinking of vasectomy reversal?

Question 2

do tubal reversals work?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Tubal reversals can be done successfully. The success rates depends on what type of tubal ligation you had in the first place. Your surgeon will want to review the notes from your original surgery if possible to plan the reversal. Some couples choose to do in vitro fertilization instead of a tubal reversal to get pregnant which is more expensive but has a higher success rate.

Question 4

what exactly is an ileostomy reversal?

Accepted Answer

Reconnect intestine: This generally refers to the removal of an ileostomy (loop of intestine attached to the skin so stool can drain into a bag on the abdomen) and reconnection of the ileum to the colon or intestine( or in some cases creating an ileal pouch).  It really depends on the exact circumstance of the ileostomy and what else was done.

Question 5

are stoma reversals always successful?

Accepted Answer

Not always: The success of a stoma reversal depends on many factors including the original reason for the stoma, the overall condition of the patient and the amount of bowel remaining.  Often a temporary stoma is constructed for diverticulitis.  In this situation, reversal is often successful assuming a healthy remaining rectum.  Each case should be looked at individually for the pros and cons of reversal.

Question 6

how many stoma end reversals are successful?

Accepted Answer

If reversal: Is done in the correct situation, they are very successful, but this depends on the type and location of the stoma. I need more details to give a better answer.

Question 7

what does reversal venous normal lordosis mean?

Accepted Answer

Deformity in spine: I assume it is a reversal of the cervical lordosis; which normal means there is a tightness/ spasm of the neck muscle probably second to pain

Question 8

y does my right side hurt after tubuligation reversal?

Accepted Answer

Right sided pain: There is no telling as more history is needed. I would refer you back to the surgeon who did the surgery to address this.

Question 9

how long do you have to wait for loop illiostomy reversal?

Accepted Answer

Depends: This would depend on why that surgery was needed, overall health condition, medications such as Prednisone (steroids), etc. May be 3-6 months but entirely dependent on above conditions & evidence that everything is fully healed & recovered internally (such as intestinal pouch integrity, etc).

Question 10

how long does it take to heal from a tubuligation reversal?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It depends   on how the surgery was done: laparoscopy or laparotomy. For a mini laparotomy it usually takes approximately one month. Every fertility center has different recommendation on when to try and conceive. In our center we usually recommend one month of waiting before attempting a pregnancy. The area around the scar can take a while before feeling normal again.
