Scheduling & Pricing
Surgery Scheduling
Thank you for your interest in tubal ligation reversal at The Florida Fertility Institute.
The success of the procedure depends on several factors, including a woman's age, the type of sterilization performed and the length of healthy tube. Pregnancy rates can be as high as 70% (this can vary depending on a patients circumstance). One way to determine what your success rate may be is with the operative report from your tubal ligation. This information can be obtained from your doctor or from the medical records department of the hospital where you had your procedure done. If you would like to forward this information to us, a doctor will review the operative report at no charge and will contact you regarding possible outcomes for your specific situation. You may fax the records to the attention of Ms. Nancy Stein at 727-796-8764 or call her directly at 727-669-3403. Please include your present name and the name under which the tubal ligation was performed. Also include a telephone number so that we can contact you after reviewing your records.
You will then be contacted to schedule a telephone consultation. Following the consultation and receiving your faxed medical information your surgery can be scheduled.
During your consultation the risks, benefits, side effects, potential complications, outcomes and alternatives are discussed in detail. It is important that all of these issues are understood before the procedure is performed. Out of town patients may have some of these issues covered by phone. An in person conversation insures that the message has been received.
If you live within 100 miles of the Tampa Bay Area you will need to schedule for an in office consultation regarding surgery. Patients who reside outside the 100 mile radius or reside in another state will have a consultation the day of surgery.
Our $5,500.00 all-inclusive fee does not apply to patients in higher risk categories that require additional surgical time. This includes patients with multiple prior abdominal surgeries or other conditions that may predispose the patient to intra-abdominal scar tissue and patients weighing 200lbs or more. An additional $1,000.00 is charged for high-risk patients. Smoking may decrease chances of a successful tubal ligation reversal. We recommend that every effort be made to stop smoking prior to your surgery.
A semen analysis is recommended prior to the surgery. Unexpected male fertility is a relatively common problem. An abnormal semen analysis may greatly affect the decision to have a tubal reversal as opposed to In Vitro Fertilization.
When pregnancy occurs, it is important to have a physician actively determine its location as soon as possible, because tubal pregnancies do occur at a higher than normal frequency in women who have had a tubal reversal.
