How Does Tubal Ligation Reversal Work?
The process of a tubal ligation reversal surgery will begin with a conversation with your doctor. They will ask questions about your age, overall health, past pregnancies, surgical history, and information about your tubal ligation procedure (especially the method in which your tubes were tied). Candidates for tubal reversal often include those whose tubes were closed with clips or rings. You will also need to have a physical exam before the procedure to ensure that there is nothing that will keep you from getting pregnant following the reversal. Then, your fallopian tubes will be examined to determine if the reversal surgery is possible for you. If a laparoscopic tubal reversal is right for you, your surgeon will utilize microsurgical techniques to remove the clips or rings used to block your fallopian tubes and then reconnect the fallopian tube segments to the uterus. Microsurgery procedures often have a reduced recovery time, and most patients are able to return home on the same day, with complete healing of the fallopian tubes taking around three months.
For many women, the choice to have their tubes tied is carefully considered and improves the long-term quality of their lives. But for those who change their mind and desire to once again have the opportunity for children, laparoscopic tubal reversal is the best option for medical treatment. According to a study in the Journal of International Medical Research, laparoscopic tubal reversal had fewer complications, a smaller scar, and an easier recovery period with less discomfort. At South Jersey Fertility Center, we’re proud to be New Jersey’s only provider of this type of tubal ligation reversal. We want to ensure that anyone expressing regret with their tubal sterilization gets the chance to explore their options with our experienced experts.
If your medical insurance doesn’t cover the tubal reversal procedure, the total cost to you is approximately $6,850, which includes the procedure, anesthesia and surgical center fees.

If it is determined that a tubal reversal may not have its desired effects for your particular case, you may be advised to consider in-vitro fertilization (or IVF).
