Accepted Answer

It : It depends on where you live and if your dr offers this in a hospital or outpatient surgical center. In general, around 8-12, 000 for the procedure, facility and anesthesia, but it can certainly vary. The doctor would want to read the operative report if available, if not they may offer to put a small telescope (a laparoscope) to make sure the reversal is feasible. If it is, then they will proceed. Patients recover quite well and are back to work 1-2 weeks later depending on the technique used. Complications are low from the procedure, but you do increase your risk for a tubal pregnancy, relative to people who have normal tubes. If you are afraid of the procedure or the tubes cannot be reversed, then ivf is your best option. Hope this helps.
