Every year in the U.S. alone hundreds of thousands of women are persuaded to undergo tubal ligation surgery. The number varies depending upon the source but of those women who do this, many will decide they want to reverse the surgery. The premiere place to do so is the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center.

Every year in the U.S. alone hundreds of thousands of women are persuaded to undergo tubal ligation surgery. The number varies depending upon the source but of those women who do this, many will decide they want to reverse the surgery. The premiere place to do so is the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center.
Unlike any other place you can name, tubal reversals are the only thing done at the center. You won't have to worry about something else, like in vitro fertilization, being pushed on you. As an IVF is a more expensive procedure that usually requires more tries, you will find this is the procedure that will be presented as your best option whether it truly is or not. Not so at CHTRC.
It is Dr. Berger who has brought Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center to the forefront for tubal ligation reversals. No one can match his background and training within this field. He has had the opportunity to study under and observe Dr. Winston himself, the man who was the pioneer in microsurgical tubal reversal procedures. Put that background together with the sheer number of tubal reversals Dr. Berger has done and you have someone who cannot be matched. Dr. Berger performs these operations, and only these operations, four times a day, five days a week.
The surgical technologists are the ones who keep the operating room all to rights. They ensure the operating room works correctly, that everything is sterile as it should be and that the room itself is meticulous. You wouldn't recognize them if you saw them because you will not usually see them. They are in the operating room with masks on so you can't see their faces. Besides you will be asleep in the operating room. The first assistant has been on Dr. Berger's staff and worked with him for eighteen years. Does your surgeon have the same staff after eighteen years?
Next we have Dr. Caryn Hertz who is the Director of Anesthesia at CHTRC. She, too, has been there for a long time. In her case, she has worked with Dr. Berger since 1995. This collaboration began after she left Duke University Medical Center to join Dr. Berger. I would guess the name of Duke alone should tell you the quality of the professional she is. Match that with her long term work with Dr. Berger, meaning she, too, knows this surgery inside and out and you have a winning team.
It's the nurses at the center that you will make most contact with. They will be the ones you ask your questions of and who will see you through all the ropes that having a surgery like this entails. You will find that they add posts to the center blog answering some of the many questions that they get. You could not be in better hands than those of these caring and respectful ladies.
With that quick look at the staff, let's talk quickly about the message board at forums.tubal-reversal.net. You will be able to ask questions there if you wish. Sure, you can call the office and get answers. However, at the message board you can talk to some of CHTRC's other patients. You will meet other women thinking about getting a tubal reversal or who are saving up to pay for one. You can also talk to women who have already had it done and have had their precious little miracles as well. The staff watches the board to answer your questions and even Dr. Berger drops by now and then to help out.
And what other surgeon or center do you know of that follows up past the six week in office check up? At the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center, they contact you at six months and again at one year after your reversal surgery. Dr. Berger and his staff have even had contact with some ladies years after their surgery when they needed advice on fertility issues. Using the information collected post operation and what was collected before, the center maintains a database that allows them to answer the question women will ask prior to their surgery - What are the success rates? You will know the statistics for this center specifically and not some general statistics for all doctors.
