Tubal Reversal

This is a procedure performed on women who have had their tubes "tied", and is their only cause for infertility.

University Fertility Associates will perform your microtubal reanastomosis (reversal) in the Tampa Bay area for the all-inclusive price of $5500.00. That’s less than half the cost for one cycle of in-vitro-fertilization! Unfortunately, most insurance carriers do not cover this surgery.

This $5500.00 includes:

• Consultation fee
• The UFA surgical fee
• Anesthesia fee
• Operating room fees
• Hospital fees
• Postoperative follow-up

This fee is less than what 95% of the Reproductive Endocrinologists in the rest of the country charge. Check for yourself, and then reply to us. The surgery is done as an outpatient procedure. Even with airfare the cost is less than the vast majority of the country!

Tubal Reversal Continued...

Tubal ligation reversal (reanastomosis) is a surgical procedure, which can restore the function of fallopian tubes after tubal ligation. Pregnancy rates in the range of 70 % are achieved. The physicians participating in this website have been subspecialty trained in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility.

Reversal operations are performed using microsurgical techniques, in which loupes (special magnifying eye glasses) are used to visualize and reconnect the tiny hollow center portion of the fallopian tubes. Microsurgery also uses suture finer than a hair, the smallest possible incisions (approximately 3 inches), micorsurgical instruments and non-traumatic tissue handling techniques. Patients go home the same day.

Cost is a major factor to be considered, because tubal reversals usually are not covered by insurance. The services are provided as a package which includes the cost of the surgeon's fees, anesthesia fees and operating room charges, with the total cost being $5500.00. This is $5000.00 to $10,000.00 less than what most Infertility practices charge across the United States.

To All Prospective Tubal Reversal Patients:

This is in response to the overwhelming number of emails we have received regarding the tubal reversal procedure here in the Tampa Bay area. It is done as an out patient procedure, via mini-laparotomy. The incision length is approximately six to seven centimeters. Only Reproductive Endocrinologists do the reversals.

The success rate is terrific.  Patients best suited for the procedure are less than 40 years old, who have had a postpartum tubal ligation; however other types of tubals can easily be reversed depending on the type of procedure performed.

The operative report is helpful, however not 100% essential. The procedure is not part of an experimental protocol. The number of reversals done per year varies according to demand; however the physicians doing the reversals have done hundreds (each).

In summary, in the appropriately selected patient population, a tubal reversal is effective, with excellent pregnancy rates; has a fast recovery time, very few complications, and is well tolerated. Women have had this procedure from all over the country and are very satisfied with their care and ultimate results. Please contact us for further information.
