Refertilisatie bij de vrouw

– The results are given of 420 microsurgical reversals of sterilization in women performed in 9 Dutch gynaecological departments. Reversal of Fallope ring- or clip-sterilization resulted in 84 intrauterine pregnancies and 5 ectopic pregnancies; after tubal coagulation reversals these figures were 57 and 6 respectively.

Furthermore, the pregnancy rate showed a strong correlation with the remaining tubal length and the site of the anastomosis. This made the method of sterilization the major prognostic factor of pregnancy after reversal.
