Questions About Tubal Reversal Cost

By: Sandra Wilson

While I was searching on Yahoo Answers a day or so ago, I found some answers that were being provided about tubal reversal cost that were just wrong. Using information from two of the best tubal reversal doctors who perform this operation, I want to set the record straight. Hopefully, after reading this article you will know a little more about tubal reversal cost or at least better than the erroneous information that has been given.
First off, before I begin, you might do better to actually perform a search with a search engine on the topic of tubal reversal cost rather than asking on a site like Yahoo Answers or WikiAnswers. This way you will be getting the straight information from actual sites of tubal reversal doctors and not from someone who may or may not know the actual facts.
Some question were just straight out requests for tubal reversal cost prices, such as the lady who had decided to have the surgery but had no idea of the cost. A respondent told her that the prices were at least $10,000 and on up to $20,000. This, of course, depended upon the doctor. And the answer stated that the success rate for tubal ligation reversal is less than 50%. I'll address this next. As for the price range offered, the answer was correct to say that the price could get quite high, up to $20,000 and even higher. However, many of the top tubal reversal doctors do not charge that amount. In fact, the leading reversal surgeon at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center only charges $5900 with the discount applied. See his website for more information.
Furthermore, the success rate that was quoted in that answer, less than 50%, is wrong. While success rate does depend upon many things, including the surgeon's skill (the more experienced he is the better), it is better than 50%, not less than. A study conducted at the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center in 2007 shows a success rate after tubal reversal of up to 87%. Check it out and you will see how different factors do affect the outcome.
On another question, although the answer chosen as the best was very good, one answer giver guessed that the cost was probably $20,000 at least, if not more. Again, this is extremely high for a surgeon who specializes in untying tubes but not unheard of from a doctor who may do one or two such surgeries a year.
Several answers given just told the person asking the question that reversals are expensive, without stating a number, and told them to just do IVF (with the occasional one saying to adopt). The reason given for just going to IVF was that you might end up with IVF anyway as reversals don't always succeed.
To this I state that on average, IVF costs $10,000 to $12,000 per cycle with an average of three cycles being required. On average, tubal ligation reversal costs $8,000 to $9,000 with only one surgery and you get to try and try over and over each month to have a baby. That can be fun. Again, there are tubal reversal doctors who specialize in doing only this surgery and nothing else (meaning they have lots and lots of experience) who charge a lower cost than the average.
Finally, one answer given compared the tubal reversal cost to buying quality shoes stating that you pay more for quality. Fortunately, this is incorrect. In fact, the best quality tubal reversal doctors charge less than the average prices mentioned above. If you review the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center website, for instance, you will see that their prices are less than $6,000 with the discount. Furthermore, you will see that Dr. Berger's experience, training and background beats out everyone else around. You definitely get more quality here by paying less than the averages.
