CHAPEL HILL, NC, April 02, 2011 (Press-News.org) Tubal Reversal Center in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, announces the birth of a baby following successful completion of sterilization reversal of the Essure procedure, previously considered a permanent form of female birth control.
Essure Procedure
Three months following her successful Essure reversal procedure at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center, Michelle, a patient of Dr. Gary Berger and Dr. Charles Monteith, became pregnant and gave birth to her baby Elizabeth on February 28th, 2011. "Essure does not have to be permanent and Essure removal and reversal are possible," explains Dr. Berger. "Michelle and her husband, Harrison, were willing to travel from Colorado to our tubal reversal center in Chapel Hill, North Carolina because of our experience as tubal sterilization reversal specialists."
The Essure procedure involves placing a flexible coil or micro-insert into each fallopian tube at the junction of the uterus and the tube. Once in place, scar tissue grows into the coils blocking the tubes, preventing sperm from fertilizing an egg. Due to this scar formation, Essure sterilization is permanent and irreversible according to the device manufacturer, Conceptus, Inc. The procedure Dr. Berger and Dr. Monteith used to reverse the Essure method involved cutting the devices out of the uterine muscle and fallopian tubes and then implanting the remaining fallopian tube segments into the uterine cavity through a new opening in the uterus. This procedure is called tubouterine implantation.
Since Essure became available in 2002, over 500,000 US women have undergone the sterilization method. Although most women who have had this sterilization procedure do not seek its reversal, some experience long-term side effects and desire its removal for relief of pain or bleeding and others in order to have their fertility restored. Younger women and women in unstable marriages have the highest rates of sterilization regret. Now there is a procedure that can help them.
Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center is the only facility in the United States that is limited specifically to the practice of tubal reversal surgery. Additional information regarding Essure sterilization reversal at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center, including profiles for Dr. Berger and Dr. Monteith, can be found on the website at www.tubal-reversal.net.
