Study shows breastfeeding, birth control may reduce ovarian cancer risk in women with BRCA mutations
(University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine) Breastfeeding, tubal ligation -- also known as having one's 'tubes tied' -- and oral contraceptives may lower the risk of ovarian cancer for some women with BRCA gene mutations, according to a comprehensive analysis from a team at the University of Pennsylvania's Basser Research Center for BRCA and the Abramson Cancer Center. The findings, a meta-analysis of 44 existing peer-reviewed studies, are published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. (Source: EurekAlert! - Cancer)

Pregnancy Due Date
How Pregnancy Due Date is Calculated
From conception vs last menstrual period
The average duration of pregnancy is 38 weeks (266 days) from conception. Predicting the pregnancy due date based on conception is the most accurate way to calculate one’s due date, but usually the date of conception is not known. Therefore, the due date is generally calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP). In this case, 2 weeks are added to the calculation giving a total of 40 weeks (280 days). This is based on the assumption that ovulation/conception occurs on cycle day 14 in the “average” 28 day menst...

Tubal Ligation and Resection
Tubal Ligation by Parkland and Irving Methods
Parkland tubal ligation
Parkland Tubal Ligation
The Parkland tubal ligation technique falls into the category of tubal ligation and resection. The Parkland procedure involves tying two non-absorbable ligatures around the fallopian tube in its proximal to middle segment and then cutting out the tubal segment between the ligatures.
The end result is similar to the Pomeroy method of tubal ligation. Two healthy tubal segments remain that can be rejoined by tubal reversal microsurgery.
Two-thirds of women with a Parkland tubal ligation become pregnant following tubal reversal surger...

Tubal Ligation – Fimbriectomy
Tubal Reversal is Possible after Fimbriectomy
Fimbriectomy tubal ligation
Fimbriectomy
Tubal ligation by fimbriectomy involves removing a portion (usually up to one-third) of the fallopian tube closest to the ovary. With microsurgical techniques, the end of the remaining fallopian tube can be opened and the inner tubal lining gently folded outward over the cuff to improve the chances of egg capture. This tubal reversal procedure is called microsurgical salpingostomy.
Reversing Fimbriectomy tubal ligation
Final Result
It is generally thought that tubal reversal cannot be successful following a fimbriectomy because of the lo...

Essure and Adiana Tubal Sterilization
Essure and Adiana are hysteroscopic sterilization methods that block the fallopian tube.
Essure Sterilization Procedure
Essure sterilization is a new hysteroscopic tubal occlusion method that became approved for use in the United States in November 2002.
Essure is a coiled spring device that is inserted through the uterine cavity into the tubal openings using a hysteroscope. This can be done as an office procedure. The Essure micro-insert consists of a stainless steel inner coil, a super-elastic outer coil, and polyethylene fibers wound in and around the inner coil. When released, the outer coil expands to anchor the micro...

Tubal Ligation – Tubal Ring or Clip
Tubal Ligation with Tubal Rings or Tubal Clips
Tubal rings and tubal clips are mechanical methods of tubal ligation applied to the fallopian tubes through a laparoscope. Tubal rings and clips damage minimal lengths of the fallopian tube and are ideal for tubal reversal.
Tubal ligation with tubal rings
Tubal Ring
The tubal ring (also called the Falope ring, Yoon ring, or Lay loop) is a small silastic band placed around a loop of the fallopian tube. With this method of tubal ligation, a 2-3 cm segment of fallopian tube is drawn inside a narrow cone-shaped applicator. The silastic ring (that previously has been stretched over...

Tubal Ligation – Pomeroy Technique
Pomeroy Tubal Ligation and Resection
Pomeroy Tubal Ligation
Tubal ligation and resection (removal) of a portion of the fallopian tube is the most frequent method of blocking the tubes. This involves tying a segment of tube and removing it. There are many variations of this technique. The tubal ligation procedure described by Dr. Ralph Pomeroy a century ago is most commonly used today.
With the Pomeroy method of tubal ligation, part of the tube is elevated to create a loop or knuckle (top picture). An absorbable ligature is tied around the base of the elevated segment, and the tubal segment is cut out (middle picture).

Best Place For Tubal Ligation Reversal Surgery
The best place for tubal reversal surgery is in Raleigh, North Carolina with Dr. Charles Monteith.
A recent patient had her tubes untied. She was so impressed with the quality of the care she received that she shared this words with potential patients, "I was and still am really pleased with the process from the beginning to the end. I had the expectation that being the top rated Tubal Reversal Center gives Chapel Hill a certain “above and beyond” reputation about the quality of surgery service but I was totally blown away by the personal service I was given by Dr. Monteith and his staff."

Moving Essure Coils? Can Essure Move?
Although the Essure coils look like a caterpillar they don't move like one. The coils can often be placed in an incorrect location. Contractions from the tube and uterus can then cause the coils to migrate, or move, to a new location. Sometimes the coils are expelled from the woman's body but sometimes they are expelled into the pelvis or abdomen. (Source: Tubal Ligation Reversal News)

Migrating Essure Coils: Complications of Essure
One complication of the Essure procedure is migrating coils. The coils can often end up in locations where they are not intended to reside. Although migrating coils are not common, some women will have problems after the Essure coils move to an incorrect location. Dr. Monteith shares a case report of migrating Essure with his blog readers in a recently publish article. (Source: Tubal Ligation Reversal News)

Best Doctor For Reversal of Fimbriectomy
A recent patient write a glowing review about Dr. Monteith and his surgery center. This patient had records indicating she had a fimbriectomy type of tubal ligation and she chose Dr. Monteith as the best specialists to repair her tubes. During her operation she had an unexpected but pleasant surprise. Her tubal ligation was not a fimbriectomy tubal ligation but rather a standard ligation and resection tubal. Her procedure went well and now she has the best chance of getting pregnant after having her tubes reversed. (Source: Tubal Ligation Reversal News)
