"Dr. Berger is the only surgeon in the world who specializes in tubal reversal surgery exclusively. Tubal ligation reversal is the only surgery we do here and we do it 4 times a day, 5 days a week. All of our nurses are certified in advanced cardiac life support and our anesthesiologists are board certified. We don't use any anesthesia personell from outside hospitals… so they work here every day and know the routine. They are great to work with and I'd let them put me to sleep any day. Our staff to patient ratio is very high. You'll have 1-2 nurses taking care of you for your entire stay here. So they are able to give you one-on-one care that you wouldn't receive in a hospital.

When you are choosing a doctor to perform tubal reversal surgery, you want to choose a doctor who specializes in performing reversal surgery on an outpatient basis. Patients who go to a the hospital for surgery may pick up infections and bacteria that are widely prevalent in hospitals and are potentially the most dangerous kinds of bacteria. It is safer to be in our facility that only treats healthy patients.

Recovery after tubal reversal varies greatly among doctors and facilities and this is something to look at carefully when choosing a doctor for reversal of tubal ligation. Although everyone recovers at a different rate, most of our patients return to work in 5-7 days after their reversal surgery and to their normal routines in 7-10 days. Tubal ligation reversals at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center usually takes about an hour. Minimizing time in the operating room is important, since longer anesthesia and surgery times are associated with increased risks and complications. Compare this to the standard approach to tubal reversal surgery where operating times of 3-4 hours can result in hospitalization for several days, a recovery period of 4-6 weeks or longer, and the risk of hospital-acquired infections.

When choosing a tubal reversal doctor you should pick a doctor who only performs ligation reversal surgery."
