Hello Anonymous,

Thank you for your question.

Clamping the Fallopian tubes is called the occlusive method of tubal ligation. Either a Falope ring or a Hulka clip are used to block the fallopian tubes. The clamp is placed across a small segment of the fallopian tubes.

This method probably has the highest success rate for future reversal and pregnancy.

In your case, the tubal ligation can be reversed. During the procedure, Tte clips or ring will simply be removed during this relatively minor procedure.

For women in their twenties who have undergone this procedure the pregnancy rate is 87%. For women in their thirties, the success rate is 73% and for women age 40 or older, the pregnancy rate following the reversal of a tubal ligation using clamps is about 47%.

Anonymous, why are you considering IVF?

Regards,
Maryann
