Essure And Adiana Reversal With Tubal Surgery

As human beings we all do things and then wonder why we did it. For many of us it’s because we were in a bad situation or just didn’t think that life would change the way it does (and it does).

The same goes for women who have a permanent form of contraception and then change their minds and want it reversed or removed. It could be that they are in a different relationship; the tragic lose of a child or other event.

Adiana and Essure are relatively new forms of female contraception. They basically do the same thing. The procedure consists of inserting something into the narrowest area of the fallopian tube and then scar tissue forms around it thus causing scar tissue. After three months of scar tissue forming a test called the HSG is performed to make sure the tubes are blocked completely.

But for some after the tubes are blocked they want a child and do not want to have to go through IVF treatments. This is where Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center comes in. Dr. Gary Berger and Dr. Charles Monteith have successfully performed both the Essure and Adiana Reversals.

With the Essure Reversal the metal coils are completely removed from the fallopian tubes and uterus, as this is the safest method according to Dr. Gary Berger. This is done because he and Dr. Monteith do not want to take the chance of the coils causing any harm to any subsequent pregnancies. Many times when the alternative treatment of IVF is used the coils are left in and at this point in time it is unsure the harmful effects it could have on the developing pregnancy.

With the Adiana Reversal the scar tissue is removed and the healthy part of the fallopian tubes are then reattached to the back of the uterus so that pregnancy can follow. The wonderful thing about both the Essure and Adiana Reversals is that there is a good amount of healthy fallopian tube remaining and this is a big factor in pregnancy success.

Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center has a website with a lot of information on both of these reversals. Many times women are unsure of where to begin on the search and this website holds a vast amount of reading and information to be better informed.
