Posted by pam mills
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?
------------------------------------------------
Posted by ChucksGirl:
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,

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!

Length of Tubes
This is topic length of tubes in forum New Message Board Members at Tubal Reversal Message Board.

Posted by Kacy Sullivan (Member # 10645) on :
Hi everyone! I found out today that the pathology report said they took very little of my tubes..not even 1cm...does that mean my tubes are not very long though? And does it make a difference in the size? I know im probably so paranoid..havent heard nothing on the loan yet, im getting impatient...keep your fingers crossed for me I should have an answer tomorrow!
Posted by kwilson (Member # 9288) on :
Hi Kacy,
If Im not mistaken I had less than 1cm removed also. Had my Tr almost 10 days ago and I was left with 6.5R and 4 Id say you have a great chance! Dr Berger is an angel in disguise so have faith. I was in your shoes just last month waiting to hear about loan. Ive got fingers toes and anything else I can cross crossed for u. Good luck! And no you arent too paranoid I think we've all been there!
Kristie
Posted by christinal (Member # 10504) on :
Kacy I think it depend on who did your TL. My report said he took 1 cm from each side yet I ended up with 2.5 and 5. I think my Dr. folded my tube in half and cut it. I was expecting much longer tubes than I got. Also it depends on which type of TL you had. I had ligation resection. Your's sound good though, so I wouldn't worry at all. I was just glad I had something to work with,
Tina
Posted by Simonsen6 (Member # 10172) on:
Kacy-
Good luck with your loan. Mine also said 1cm and I ended up with 5.5 & 5. You will LOVE Dr. Berger and his staff... They were the best!!!! No regrets what so ever!!!! The only real problem you will discover is he is the best Dr. you will ever meet and no one else can compare...
Keep us posted and let us know when U schedule...
Lots of Love.

Posted by KPJ (Member # 7043) on:
Kacy, unfortunately, I've heard way too often that the reports were erroneous when it comes to figuring your lengths. Don't worry though... there are plenty of short-tubers that get those
BFP's and I see less of them with blocked tubes, so I guess it's a mixed blessing. If you are worried, you can chose to have the LAP done to see what Dr. Berger can do before TR. To be honest, it really depends on WHAT kind of TL you had that mostly determines your tube lengths.

Posted by rosslyn (Member # 10699) on:
Kacy, I didn't have pathology reports for my TL, but my tubes were coagulated in three places on each tube. Dr.Berger did LAP and was able to continue with reversal . My tube lenghts are L 3.5 & R 5.5 . It's been 5 months since surgery.
Posted by sprocket (Member # 10860) on:
hi all. i just had my TR yesterday. i guess i'm a member of the short tubers club.
lengths:
L:2.5
R:4.5
good luck everybody. hope we get BFP
Posted by Nancy Medical Secretary (Member # 4179) on:

Hi, I just had my TR done today. This is my first time posting to any of the boards. I was told that my TL's are 6 and 7 centimeters. My age is still a factor, but I'm praying for God to give us a baby. I believe it's a miracle that TR's are available to women today.
