Reanastomosis of the previously ligated fallopian tube. 1979

A N Vammen, and W P Gideon, and J P Elkins

Tubal sterilization procedures are being performed on young women in increasing numbers. For a variety of reasons a small but significant number of women are requesting reversal of the tubal interruption. This report presents a series of 20 consecutive patients on whom tuabl reanastomoses of previously noncoagulated, surgically ligated fallopian tubes were performed. An intraluminal tubal suture technique is described. Low magnification (X2 to X4) was used. The comparative results of the patients operated upon revealed a tubal pregnancy rate of 80%, a total pregnancy rate of 70%, a viable pregnancy rate of 55%, three abortions, and one ectopic pregnancy.
