[Microsurgical reversal of sterilization: experiences and results in 119 cases].
From January 1976 to March 1982 119 microsurgical reversals were performed. Most of these women were not older than 30 years at the time of sterilization. A new partnership was the main reason for a request of reversal. Up to now 69 patients (58,0%) achieved an intrauterine pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancies occurred in 3 women (2,5%). The prognosis of a reversal depends mainly on the remaining length of the fallopian tube and the site of the anastomosis. For isthmo-isthmic anastomoses the intrauterine pregnancy rate was 80%. Due to today's high divorce rates tubal sterilization in women younger than 30 years should be based on a well founded indication. In younger patients only such sterilization techniques should be performed, which offer the highest chances for reversal.
