Tubal ligation reversal - microsurgical technique
If you have had your tubes "tied" and you want to have another
baby, you may be a candidate for
tubal ligation reversal. Many patients who have been told they should
have IVF (In Vitro Fertilization)
can actually have better chances of getting a baby, with less invested and
less risk with tubal ligation reversal. We cannot emphasize this too strongly.
IVF costs $10,000 per cycle and most experts will tell you not to consider
it unless you try a minimum of 3 cycles. Tubal
ligation reversal in our center is $6,900 and your chances of successfully
getting pregnant can be up to 70% or more, depending on your natural fertility.
At the Lakeshore Surgical Center, we have specialized in outpatient gynecologic
procedures since 1991. Our goal has been to minimize
post-op discomfort, pre-op anxiety, and maximize safety. We feel we
have "written the book" on patient comfort, both physical and
mental. We are small, focused, and concerned.
Dr. William Greene, Jr., M.D. has a
degree in Chemistry from the University of Florida, a medical degree from
the University of Miami, and his residency in obstetrics and gynecology
was done at the University of Miami Jackson Memorial Hospital. Dr. Greene's
post graduate training in microsurgery was done at the department of plastic
surgery at M.D. Anderson hospital in Houston, Texas.
Dr. Greene is board certified in obstetrics and gynecology by the American
Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and is a fellow of the American College
of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Additionally, he is on the board of directors
of the Georgia Ob-Gyn Society and on the physician's advisory council for
the Department of Family and Children's Services for the State of Georgia.

Tubal Reversal Procedure & Technique
If you decide to come to the Lakeshore Surgical Center for outpatient
tubal ligation reversal, we ask that you come the afternoon of the day
before your surgery so that you can meet our staff and get the necessary
lab and paperwork out of the way. You can ask all the questions you
want and tour our facility so you feel more at home the next day.
The morning of your tubal ligation reversal you will meet with anesthesia
and talk about any concerns you have. At Lakeshore Surgical we use only
general anethesia for our patients.
Our physicians believe that the key to successful tubal ligation reversal
is careful surgical technique taking each layer as it comes, controlling
even small amounts of bleeding, keeping the tissues moist and using very
small sutures. Each layer receives a local anesthetic to make you more comfortable
when you are recovering.
When your surgery is finished, we will keep you in our center until you
think you are ready to leave. This usually takes an hour. We will then see
you the next morning to make sure you're okay and will continue to call
you at home during your recovery and from time to time after that.
