Laparoscopic Tubal Re-Anastomosis or IVF in Previously Ligated Patients: A Comparison of Fertility Outcomes and Survey of Patient Attitudes.

CONCLUSIONS: For women less than 40 years of age, desiring fertility after tubal ligation, laparoscopic tubal re-anastomosis offers better live birth rates and cost-effectiveness. Patients in Singapore are equivocal as to their preference after education regarding the choices. Thus laparoscopic tubal re-anastomosis remains a viable alternative to IVF treatment.
