As you have not doubt learned elsewhere, many thousands of women start looking for tubal reversal clinics each year when they decide they have made a mistake having their original tubal ligation. If you are one of them, we hope the factors presented below will help you find the right clinic for you

When you begin looking through the tubal reversal clinics, try to find one that does only tubal reversals. After all, you want to find someone who specializes in doing tubal reversals, don’t you? This will help ensure that you are getting someone who knows what they are doing. Think about it. If all you do all day long is tubal anastomoses, then you will have lots of experience with whatever might come up. There is no dilution of focus. And you won’t have to bear up under the pressure to have the more expensive, less successful in vitro fertilization (IVF) which is what most such clinics who do not specialize will push.

Another factor has to do with the accreditation of the clinic. Is it accredited and by what organization? Is it a licensed facility as well? Can you find this information out easily or do you have to really dig?

What is the reputation of the clinic? Do they have a reputation for answering questions and providing excellent patient care both before and after surgery? Can you talk to other patients to find out how they feel about the treatment they received?

Now check out the reputation of the surgeon who will be doing the surgery. What kind does he have with other doctors and most especially with his patients? What is his training and educational background? Who trained him? What type of surgery does he perform? Is it one that is going to have you laid up for weeks or out and about within a couple days? Do you feel secure asking him questions?

What about the statistics covering the success rates after tubal reversal at each of the tubal reversal clinics you are considering? Can you find those easily? I’m not talking about the overall statistics for all tubal reversals but those for each individual clinic. Do they even keep track of the type of things that matter? Among these will be whether or not your tubes were cauterized or clipped or whatever, how the length of the tubes left affect successful outcome, and even how the age of the patient affects the outcome.

Last, you need to consider the price of a reversal procedure at the clinics you are looking at. Chances are you will have to pay for the surgery, so I know price is a factor. But don’t let it be the sole determining factor. Use the answers you come up with from the questions above to help you make up your mind.

Using all the above, and the other things you will find as you search through the tubal reversal clinics, you should be able to make a better choice as to which will be the right one for you. Just take some time and get your answers. If you can’t find out what you need to about one of the clinics, it’s probably best to just move on to another.
