38) Quick Road to Recovery After Tubal Reversal Surgery
Recovery times can vary greatly among patients, doctors, and facilities. Recovery time depends on type of surgery, method of surgery, and other medical conditions patients may have.

Tubal reversal surgery performed at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center is outpatient, typically takes less than an hour, and utilizes small incisions so patients recovery quickly and can return to their normal activities.

39) Tubal Lengths Following Tubal Reversal Surgery
Potential reversal patients often ask about the importance of tubal lengths following tubal reversal surgery. There is no specific tubal length that is ideal, but pregnancy rates are higher with longer tubal lengths following surgery. Women with longer tubal lengths had higher pregnancy rates than did women with shorter lengths following tubal reversal. Women with tubal lengths 7.5 cm or longer had a pregnancy rate of 80%. The pregnancy rate declined as tubal length decreased, but even women with the shortest tubes (less than 2.5 cm) became pregnant (38%). Although previously unreported in the medical literature, repaired fallopian tubes of any length can result in pregnancy. Tubal lengths as short as 1 cm have resulted in normal pregnancy. One of the positive aspects about tubal reversal surgery is that once the tubes are open -- even if they are short - fertility is restored and pregnancy can occur at any time.
