Outpatient Tubal Ligation Reversal
Fertility Restored Through One Hour Outpatient Surgery
Published in M.D.News Magazine
At Dr. Gary Berger's Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center, pictures of smiling children line the shelves behind the receptionist's desk. They are a result of his career-long endeavor to make restoring fertility easy for women wanting more children after a tubal sterilization.
Over the past 28 years, Dr. Berger has developed an improved approach to tubal surgery that makes tubal ligation reversal a low cost, one-hour outpatient operation. His procedure has been broadcast by The Learning Channel in The Operation series. Information about the operation and a free tubal reversal videotape are available at Dr. Berger's tubal reversal - tubal ligation reversal website.
Dr. Berger's freestanding facility in Chapel Hill, North Carolina includes a surgicenter and a reproductive laboratory, both accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations, as well as his private office. This all-inclusive setting helps tubal microsurgery to be comfortable and affordable, as well as safe and effective, in a pleasant environment outside of the hospital.

Having performed more than 6000 tubal reversals, Dr. Berger has the most experience with this outpatient procedure of any reproductive surgeon in the world. Patients come to Chapel Hill from all over the United States as well as abroad to have Dr. Berger perform their surgery. Even with travel expenses included, his procedure is more cost-effective than tubal anastomosis performed in a hospital.
Stephanie and Clark with Dr. Berger during the pre-op consultation.Dr. Berger decided to specialize in tubal microsurgery in 1970 during his first year of OB/GYN residency at Johns Hopkins Hospital. He received his education at Harvard University, the University of Rochester School of Medicine, Duke University Hospital, Johns Hopkins Hospital, The Centers for Disease Control, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In 1976, Dr. Berger went to England and Belgium to learn about tubal microsurgery since there were no such programs in the US at that time.
He became a Charter Member of the Society of Reproductive Surgeons, and in 1979 he entered private practice wanting to create a center ideally suited for outpatient reproductive surgery.
