Sterilisation is definitely reversible BUT the success in terms of a pregnancy
depends on the following:
a) Time interval between the sterilisation and reversal attempt: Reversal performed within one year or earlier carries a higher success rate.
b) Length of the fallopian tube present following sterilisation: Short length of the fallopian tube present following sterilisation carries a poor chance of pregnancy.
c) Presence of any associated intratubal pathology like peritubal adhesions, tuberculosis / gonococcal salpingitis carries a poor prognosis.
d) The expertise of the gynaecologist performing the microsurgical reversal surgery is of paramount importance.
