339) Our Miraculous Body assisted by Tubal Reversal Surgery
Denise, a Tubal Reversal Message Board member wonders "how the egg finds the tube after tubal reversal, especially when the tubes are usually much more shorter than they were naturally?" The fallopian tube is a narrow muscular organ arising from the uterus and ending just next to the ovary. The inner tubal lining is rich in cilia, the microscopic hair-like projections that beat in waves and transports the egg into and down the tube to the uterus. The fallopian tube is about 10 cm (4 inches) long and consists of several segments. Sperm enter the fallopian tube through the uterus, and eggs enter from the ovarian or fimbrial end of the tube. Women have reported tubal reversal pregnancies with fallopian tubes as short as 1 cm in legnth after having their tubes untied with Dr. Gary Berger at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center.
