Tube permeability and pregnancy after tubal ligation reversal - doi:10.5020/18061230.2006.p209

Abstract

This study aimed at verifying the frequencies of tube permeability and pregnancy in women submitted to microsurgical tubal ligation reversal by laparotomy at a private Clinical Center, in São Luís, Maranhão, from August, 1999 to April, 2003. Medical registers from 27 patients were retrospectively analyzed. Data referring to age, motive for tubal ligation reversal, obstetrical antecedents, age at the time of tube ligation, time since sterilization and results from surgical reversal (observed at least during six months) were collected. Data showed that the most frequent age group was 30-34 years old (44%; p0.05), neither between the time since sterilization and the frequency of tube permeability (p>0.05).
