Preoperative Blood Tests For Tubal Reversal Surgery

Prior to having your tubes untied at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center blood test results are required. These include a complete blood count (CBC), HIV-1 antibody, Hepatitis B surface antigen and Hepatitis C antibody. A Tubal Reversal Message Board member 'Smiles6000' asks about where she can have these drawn. They can be drawn at your doctor's office or a local laboratory. Just contact one of the nurses at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center with the fax number to the lab and an order can be sent. Pre-op lab results are due within at least 3 weeks prior to the surgery date. Testing should be performed within 3 - 5 days of scheduling surgery, but not more than 90 days prior to the surgery date.
