“…Tubal patency and the immediate success of the procedure are confirmed by chromotubation ( Figure 7 , Video S1). The tubal anastomosis may be performed by mini-laparotomy, the traditional laparoscopic technique, or by Robot-assisted technology [ 6 , 7 , 34 , 35 , 36 ].…”

“…Madison et al performed a literature review concerning surgical reversal of sterilization via reanastomosis conducted by laparotomy, conventional laparoscopy, and Robot-assisted approaches [ 36 ]. The pros and cons comparing laparotomy and conventional laparoscopy are well established and obvious, while the differences between laparoscopy and Robot-assisted approaches are more interesting.…”

“…Compared with conventional laparoscopy, the Robot-assisted surgery seems to have significantly increased operative times, intraoperative complications, and a trend toward increased conversion to laparotomy. The loss of tactile feedback is discussed controversially [ 36 ]. The authors conclude that conventional laparoscopy seems to be the best approach for women < 40 years of age due to pregnancy outcomes similar to other methods, overall cost effectiveness, and the favorable safety profile of minimally invasive procedures [ 36 ].…”

A variety of procedures have been used for family planning. One of these is sterilization surgery, which can be reversed by a tubal reanastomosis. In the present report, we compare Robot-assisted tubal reanastomosis sterilization with other methods of family planning and discuss factors related to the choice of the approach. The keywords used for the electronic search in PubMed were family planning, sterilization, Robot-assisted, tubal reanastomosis, depression, and regret. The decision in favor of or against sterilization surgery has been a sensitive issue for several years. Robot-assisted technology is a modern and precise approach. It has contributed to the flexibility of the decision between sterilization and its reversal through tubal reanastomosis, as well as enhanced the success rate of the surgery. Based on our analysis of the published literature, we believe that Robot-assisted tubal anastomosis is the optimum approach. However, to ensure the quality of health care, the surgeon must be well trained, well versed with the anatomy of the fallopian tubes, and thoroughly informed on the psychological impact of family planning.

“…Globally, the prevalence of permanent sterilization in 2019 was 24% in women ages 15–49 years [2]. The risk of regret after permanent sterilization is significant, particularly in high-risk populations such as those with ages less than 30 years, low socioeconomic status, sterilization in the postpartum period, low parity, or in a new relationship [3 ▪ ,4]. In the U.S., up to 30% of women regret their decision for permanent sterilization, and 1–2% will seek out sterilization reversal [4,5].…”

Female sterilization reversal in the era of in-vitro fertilization

Purpose of reviewRegret after female sterilization is not uncommon in the United States. Prior to the development of assisted reproductive technology (ART), surgical reversal of sterilization was the only option for patients interested in fertility. First performed in 1972, this procedure has since been refined over the years by gynaecologic surgeons. With in-vitro fertilization (IVF) gaining popularity, interest in sterilization reversal has waned. However, sterilization reversal should remain an important option in patients seeking pregnancy after tubal ligation. Recent findingsA direct comparison between IVF and sterilization reversal is challenging due to inherent differences in reporting fertility outcomes. However, sterilization reversal may optimize fertility in younger women, whereas IVF may be more effective in older women. The surgical approach to sterilization reversal can be laparotomic, laparoscopic or robotic. Clinical decision making should include consideration of the risk of ectopic pregnancy, interval from sterilization to reversal, type of sterilization procedure, planned anastomotic site and projected remaining tubal length.

Where Microsurgical Tubal Reanastomosis Stands in the In vitro Fertilization Era

Among various options of contraception, bilateral tubal ligation (BTL) remains the most frequently used method for women worldwide even at present. However, up to 30% of those who undergo BTL eventually change their minds and wish to conceive again for a variety of reasons, such as a change in marital status or simply wanting more children. In this case, we can either approach it surgically with tubal re-anastomosis (TA) or by in vitro fertilization (IVF)-embryo transfer. Despite the many advantages of TA which lead the American Society of Reproductive Medicine Committee Opinion to recommend it as the primary choice of treatment in posttubal ligation infertility in 2012, IVF is widely being chosen as the first-line treatment nowadays. This study will review the efficacy of TA in various aspects, including pregnancy rate, cost-effectiveness, feasibility, and accessibility, based on review of the literature and our experience. Through this study, we intend to provide a basis for gynecologists to consider TA as the first option in women who wish to conceive again after BTL in this day and age of IVF.
