Microsurgical tubal reanastomosis is traditionally performed through a mini-laparotomy incision or "bikini-cut" and operating microscope. Many variables affect the success rates of tubal reanastomosis including type of initial procedure, health, age of the female and time interval from sterilization to anastomosis. In general, success rates range from 55 to 85 percent. For men who had prior vasectomies, we recommend seeing a physician at our Department of Urology.
