Reversing Tied Tubes - Which Doctor Should You Choose?
Whatever your reasons for wishing to have surgery reversing tied tubes may be, you will begin your search for doctors who will do this. But where do you begin your search?
Many women begin their search on the Internet. It’s so wonderful these days to have this means of finding information about tubal reversal. Just by reading, you will learn what questions you need to ask and answer the questions you already have.
Regardless of whether or not you did begin your search on the Internet, it seems most women want to find a tubal reversal doctor in their own area of the world or country. Since you will probably find a surgeon or two (or more) who say they will perform the operation, I feel compelled to point out that you may not be getting off to a good start by not looking for a surgeon who specializes in tubal ligation reversals.
While the doctors may tell you they do tubal reversals, if they do not specialize in them, then you might be pushed to other choices. For instance, a fertility doctor/clinic which also does IVF will push you toward that option. It makes sense to them. Since on average, IVF requires three cycles with a cost associated with each try, they can make more money that way. With the surgery, it’s one procedure and you can try over and over again to “make a baby”.
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?
If you are interested in really finding a tubal reversal doctor who has years of experience and works with the same team every day, then start your search with Dr. Gary Berger of Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center. Not only does he have the years of experience and was trained by those that pioneered this surgery, he is the one who developed it as an outpatient procedure. You can’t find a better qualified physician for reversing tied tubes in the whole world. Yes, I make that as a statement of fact.
