Hello Anonymous,

Thank you for your question.

You mention having a partial Fallopian tube. Have you been diagnosed with partial tubal atresia, which is rare. There is an absence or abnormal narrowing of the Fallopian tube, usually at the mid portion. It can occur in one or both Fallopian tubes.

Also, inflammation and infection can cause partial occlusion of a Fallopian tube. There is a risk for an ectopic pregnancy.

Maryann

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

I had my left tube removed due to a eptopic pregnancy. I still have my right tube.. the obgy that did surgery said the clamp is very low on and could very well fall off, no signs of scar tissue either. My question is.... is it cheaper to have a reversal with only one tube to remove the clamp?

Yes you can! I've had both of my tubes removed and I am pregnant. I conceived naturally. The doctors have no explanation of how and at this point me and my hubby are just happy.
