If you are not very sure of what information you need or how to make your choice, you will most likely turn to the Internet to research having a tubal reversal. In fact, that may be how you found this article.



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.

Whoever you locate in your area, unless you are very lucky, will most likely not be someone who specializes in doing tubal reversals. While they will do the operation for you, it is just one of many other things they do. If you look into a fertility clinic where IVF is available, as it is at most fertility clinics, you will be urged to have IVF instead of the operation in the vast majority of cases. With the operation, there is a one time cost and then you try as much as you want to create a new life. With IVF, on average, you will have to try and pay for an average of 3 cycles.

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?

Why not just save yourself a lot of trouble and select a surgeon who specializes in tubal reversal surgery? Do your research on Dr. Gary Berger and Dr. Monteith of Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center in North Carolina. You will get the years of experience and knowledge that has made Dr. Berger the world's leading authority on tubal reversals. In the long run and the short run, you will have made the best choice choosing the CHTRC as the place for reversing tied tubes.
