What is tubal recanalization?

Tubal recanalization, also known as tubal ligation reversal, is a surgical procedure that reconnects the fallopian tubes in women who previously underwent surgical sterilization through tubal ligation or the “Pomeroy” technique and now wish to conceive naturally again.

How is tubal recanalization performed?

During tubal recanalization surgery, the blocked or cut sections of the fallopian tubes are carefully reconnected to the healthy remaining portions. Dr. Yeisman Pineda’s technique includes the placement of a catheter through the uterine cavity guided by hysteroscopy, allowing greater precision in identifying the areas to be reconnected. This procedure helps restore the natural pathway for the egg and sperm, increasing the chances of natural pregnancy.

Who is a candidate for tubal recanalization?

Tubal recanalization in Barranquilla is not suitable for every patient. A fertility specialist must perform a full evaluation to determine the likelihood of success. The main factors include:

  1. The patient is preferably under 38 years old.
  2. The original tubal ligation technique used.
  3. The absence of other female or male infertility factors.

What can I expect from tubal recanalization surgery?

The goal of this procedure is to restore the possibility of natural pregnancy for women who were previously sterilized and now wish to have another child.

How should I prepare for tubal recanalization?

Before surgery, it is essential to schedule a consultation with a fertility specialist. During this evaluation, your medical history will be reviewed, your candidacy for the procedure will be assessed, and the details of the surgery, recovery process, and expected pregnancy success rates will be explained.

What is the success rate of tubal recanalization?

The success rate of tubal ligation reversal depends on factors such as the patient’s age, the type of sterilization previously performed, and the absence of other infertility conditions. In properly selected patients, especially women aged 38 or younger, natural pregnancy rates may reach approximately 70%.

How long does it take to achieve pregnancy after surgery?

In most cases, natural pregnancy may occur within 12 months after surgery, although this timeframe may vary depending on each patient’s reproductive health.

What are the risks of tubal recanalization surgery?

Like any outpatient surgical procedure, tubal recanalization carries some minor risks. However, it is generally considered safe and offers a relatively quick recovery when performed by an experienced fertility specialist.

How common is tubal ligation reversal?

It is estimated that approximately 7% of women who undergo surgical sterilization later decide to reverse the procedure for various reasons, primarily to pursue another pregnancy.
