Abstract
OBJECTIVE
To study the success rate and the acceptability of microsurgical tubal reversal as a treatment procedure for infertility in woman ages > or = 40 years. METHODS: We investigated 51 patients ages > or = 40 years who had undergone microscopical tubal reversal in the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Chonbuk National University Hospital from March 1, 1982 to October 28, 1997. RESULTS: The follow-up rate was 76.5%[39/51] and pregnancy was achieved in 59.0%[23/39]. The mean ages of the pregnant and non-pregnant groups were 41.0+/-0.93[range:40-43] and 42.8+/- 2.86[range:40-49] years, respectively. The mean interval between tubal reversal and pregnancy was 5.96+/-6.2 months. The cumulative pregnancy rate was 46.2% for the first 6 months after tubal reversal, and 53.8% for 18 months. CONCLUSION:The microscopical reversal of tubal sterilization of women also in their forties should be regarded as an acceptable treatment of infertility in women who are highly motivated and well-counseled and have no other infertility factors.
