ABSTRACT

Tubal reanastomosis is not a frequently performed surgical procedure and majorityof the national and international literature is retrospective. We thus aimed to investigate our pregnancy outcomes after 10 years of experience intubal reanastomosis to contribute to the literature.

We evaluated 68 patients with pregnancy who underwent tubal sterilization in the preliminary stage and who underwent surgery for tubal reanastomosis between January 2007 and January 2017 atour clinic. We excluded16 cases from the study and included 52 cases in the study. Post-operative pregnancy outcomes of the cases were analyzed.

The rate of pregnancy after tubal reanastomosis was 53.8% atour clinic. Live birth rates were 32.6%, ectopic pregnancy rate was 9.6%, and abortus rate was 11.5%.

Pregnancy outcomes after tubal reanastomosis are particularly good in patients under 40 years of age. Compared withinvitro fertilization, there are additional advantages of low cost, high singleton pregnancy rates, low risk of ovarian hyperstimulation, simultaneous intervention with intraoperative coexisting uterine and tubaovarian pathology, and pelvic adhesions.
