Specializes in General Practice

Surgery: This surgery is done in an operating room with general anesthesia. It is not simple. It is not usually successful. And it is very expensive. Most gyns do not put their patients through it.

Not usual: This surgery requires more than sedation in the office. Have you talked to a infertility specialist to get costs of ivf.? This does not require surgery but some procedures that may require sedation.

Not in office: Reversal of tubal ligation is not a procedure that can be done in the office. It requires a surgical procedure. The effectiveness (success) varies depending on the type of tubal ligation you had, how much tube is left, and the skill of the surgeon. It is usually not covered by insurance, can be quite expensive, and slightly increases your risk of ectopic pregnancy.
