If you are one of the many women each year that begins a search for tubal reversal clinics due to changing your mind about your sterilization procedure, you should read through the below for help in determining which will be best for you. Whether you want another child due to some unforeseen change of mind or simply for relief from post tubal syndrome (PTS), you will want to be sure you go to the best clinic and doctor for your circumstances.

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?

Among all the tubal reversal clinics you check out, what is the reputation of the doctors and staff? Do you have ways to check and see how happy or unhappy patients and potential patients are with the care they have received? Do people highly recommend the services of the clinic you are researching? Even after surgery, how does the clinic treat its former patients? How about during the procedure? Do they even respond to you when you ask them questions? Some clinics that women have asked questions of don't reply for days and weeks, if ever. Check their reputation online.

And speaking of reputation, what is the background of the surgeon from the clinic who does the surgery? What is his or her training and education? What type of surgery do they perform and how will this impact your surgery length and recovery time? Does the surgeon have a reputation of caring for his patients? Can you even talk to the surgeon and his staff and get your questions answered?

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.

Take all the above and search out which of the tubal reversal clinics will be the right one for you. Each of us have different criteria and different needs. These factors just give you a basis for making your decision. Good luck in your choice.
