Laparoscopic Tubal Recanalisation is done under general anesthesia. A small cut is made on the belly for inserting a laparoscope. The fallopian tubes are evaluated and then the disconnected ends of the tubes are freshened up and sutured back together.
How long it takes you to fully recover depends on the kind of surgery you had. After a laparoscopy, it usually takes about 1 week. After a mini-laparotomy, it usually takes 1 to 3 weeks. If you had a mini-laparotomy after having a baby, your recovery may take longer.
Since tubal ligation does not affect hormones or the appetite, it does not induce weight gain. Even though microsurgery can reconnect the tubes, a return to fertility is not guaranteed. Pregnancy rates after female sterilization reversal range from 30-80%.
