PIP: A retrospective analysis was conducted of the records of 1118 women who underwent microsurgical reversal of a previous tubal sterilization at Seoul (Korea) National University Hospital during 1980-91. The mean age at the time of reversal request was 31.8 years and the mean duration of sterilization was 51.9 months (range, 3-185 months). The average number of living children was 1.2. The majority (56.6%) had been sterilized by laparoscopic cautery. Major reasons for the request for reversal were loss of children (50.8%), remarriage (27.3%), and desire for sons (21.5%). Of the 992 women (82.5%) followed for more than 5 years, 505 (54.8%) achieved a total of 585 pregnancies; 366 (72.5%) of women who achieved pregnancies had a live birth. The estimated anatomical success rate was 88.2% Mean age was significantly lower in the pregnant than the nonpregnant group (30.9 versus 31.6 years), but mean duration of sterilization had no impact. The pregnancy rate was not associated with the method of tubal sterilization; however, there was a significant difference in the postoperative tubal length between pregnant and nonpregnant women (6.7 versus 6.5 cm). Despite the lack of significant correlation between the sterilization method and the success rate, Silastic Yoon's rings and Hulka clips appear to offer the greatest likelihood of tubal sterilization reversal because tissue damage is minimized.
