Factors affecting the pregnancy rate after microsurgical reversal of tubal ligation.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the factors affecting the pregnancy rate after microsurgical reversal of tubal ligation. DESIGN:Retrospective clinical study. SETTING:Private practice affiliated with a tertiary care center. One hundred twenty-eight consecutive patients who underwent tubal reversal between October 1992 and May 2001. INTERVENTION(S):Microsurgical tubal reanastomosis performed by a single surgeon. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S):Subsequent pregnancy rates were evaluated with Fisher's exact tests and logistic regression according to clinical characteristics of patients. RESULT(S):The pregnancy rate was 85.7% (54 out of 63) in patients 35 years. The odds ratio (OR) between the two age groups was 7.20, with a 95% confidence interval (CI) of 2.41 to 21.55. The pregnancy rate was 85.4% (35 out of 41) in patients with body mass index (BMI) 25 (OR 3.02; CI 1.04 to 8.77). Patients sterilized 8 years (OR 3.63; CI 1.19 to 11.09). CONCLUSION(S):Age was the primary statistically significant factor affecting pregnancy rate in tubal reversal patients. Body mass index and duration of sterilization had smaller, but statistically significant, associations with pregnancy rate.
