When I went to the Wikepedia page about Tubal Reversal, I came upon this sentence. This delicate surgery is best performed by a reproductive surgeon with specialized training and experience in the techniques of tubal ligation reversal.
This describes perfectly what I observed in our operating room today. During a tubal reversal procedure, Dr. Berger was faced with unexpected results from our patient's prior surgery. The outcome looked bleak, but Dr Berger's training and years of experience gave him the edge. I was amazed as I watched him create a beautiful, functional tube and fimbria out of what appeared to be a hopeless situation. Instead of two tubal segments, this patient had three. The third segment consisted of only fragments of the fimbria that could not be attached. The remaining length was good. On the other side was a short and very fibrotic tube with no opening at all into the uterus, but a healthy fimbrial segment. Any normal surgeon would have quit, but Dr. Berger used his many years and used the good fimbria segment from one side and connected it to the tubal segments on the other side that had no fimbria. Now this patient has one long, healthy tube with fimbria. It just a miracle!! This patient has just left the Tubal Reversal Center to finish recovering at the hotel. She and her husband left filled with hope, realistic hope. They realize their circumstance is unusual and if hadn't been for the experience and fortitude of Dr. Berger and his OR team they wouldn't have been so lucky. Training and experience truly do make all the difference in the world!

Pam,
I really wanted to thank you for what you posted.
I was having a really rough 2 days, worrying about what kind of TL I had and worried that it wont be a successful TR. I am scheduled for 7-31 and I am so excited. After reading what you wrote put my fears into perspective, I actually printed it out and placed in on my bathroom mirror so that I can be reminded of the extrodinary work Dr. B does.
Thanks
Sharon

Does the staff treat you good? Are they good at answering questions? Do they take the time to make sure you're satisfied with everything?

Dear Sisa:
Dr. B and his staff are the best! I know of no other doctor or his staff who respond 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I have called the nurses at night and on weekends and they always make me feel it is okay to be calling. When you are there for your consult they will answer all of your questions and you get lots of time to sit down with Dr. Berger, too. The nurses in the recovery room will also review everything with you during the pre-op time. On teh day after surgery, a nurse will come to the hotel to see you to answer questions and to see how you are doing.
I know others will post but I think you will find yourself spoiled by Dr. Berger and his great staff!

You won't even feel like you are talking to Dr.s and Nurses (based on the way most of them treat people) This entire group is fantastic. You will be amazed at how they help you, listen to you and make all efforts to ensure that you understand and are comfortable with everything that is going on. and their care and concern continues after the surgery too. You will get the same respect and consideration from them even after the fact. They are phenomenal and should be benchmarked by any and all other health professionals in my opinion. Good luck to you,
Jo

You are in the best of care with Dr.B and staff.I was so nervous prior but once I got there all my fears and worries went away and I felt very confident with my decision to have my TR with Dr.B.They are so thorough with details and making you feel comfortable,you'll be in recovery and asking yourself"I worried for nothing".I wish all doctors were like Dr.Berger and his staff.

The entire staff at CH is first-class all the way. You will start wondering why all doctors and health care professionals are not MORE like Chapel Hill. They are available at all times to you and you will never be put off or treated like a bother.
They answer any questions you have quickly and give you as much information as possible.
As far as being satisfied, they go above and beyond. The hotel accomidations, consult, surgury and post-op visit are all so professional and smooth that it will seem too good to be true!
You can NOT go wrong with Chapel Hill!

Dr. Berger performed my TR in 2003. Him and staff was wonderful. For a solid year I spoke to the nurses off and on they were always so well to speak to me even at night or on weekends. When we arrived at CHFC I was nervous hoping everything was going to be perfect. I was also wanting tube lengths like 10. After surgery we found out my tube length was 3 & 4. I was somewhat upset. But I held on to what dr. b said. I dont feel you'll have any problem getting pregnant!!!
I got pregnant rather quickly.Dr. Berger and his staff is great. You have found the best.
Good luck!
