| Summary: | Objective: To determine the effect of laparoscopic reversal of tubal sterilization on pregnancy rate.
Methods: Eight patients who underwent laparoscopic tubal reversal between March 1999
and 31 December 2001 were evaluated.
Results: Four of eight patients who had had laparoscopic tubal reversal became pregnant. Three have delivered; pregnancy in the fourth woman is ongoing. To
date, the other four patients are still not pregnant. Two of these four cases have tubal patency but have not achieved pregnancy; in the other two cases, the operation was unsuccessful and tubal patency
did not occur.
Conclusion: In our preliminary study, the pregnancy rate was 50%. |
