Then, the tied end of the segment of fallopian tube attached to the uterus is sutured into the back side of the uterus, and the other tied end is buried in the connective tissue underlying the fallopian tube. Although this is not the most common type of tubal ligation procedure performed, Dr. Berger and Dr. Montheith are able to restore fertility in 98% of cases.

Establishing a relationship with an Ob-Gyn who understands and agrees to follow the "When you become pregnant" protocol recommended by Dr. Gary Berger at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center will help to avoid problems once a woman has become pregnant. Monitoring early pregnancy with HCG testing helps to prevent complications associated with a tubal pregnancy. Dr. Berger recommends HCG testing twice weekly until the levels reach 1500-2000 at which time a vaginal ultrasound should be performed. At this point, a uterine pregnancy will usually show a gestational sac within the uterus.

Dr. Gary Berger and the staff at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal collect data from tubal reversal patients who report developing problems after having their tubes tied. The staff follows up 6 months after the reversal surgery. "We have not analyzed the data yet," explains Ms. Smith.
