"   Question I am 30-years-old and I have five children.  I was sterilised six years ago and would now like to have it reversed.  I was sterilised with the clip method. I was wondering what the success rate of the reversal is and if I would be considered to have it done.  I would really appreciate any information on this matter.   Answer Many women like yourself regret the decision to be sterilised.  If you could show the doctor that you are in a stable relationship and are in good health, and that it is reasonable in every way, emotionally, socially, physically and financially to have further children then I have no doubt that it would be perfectly possible to have a reversal of your sterilisation carried out on the NHS.  However, I would anticipate that this would be low priority in comparison to other women who have much more pressing gynaecological conditions and the waiting list would be fairly lengthy, perhaps up to two years or so.  Perhaps if you would consider going privately, it would undoubtedly make an enormous difference.  In terms of the success rate, reversal is very likely to be possible since your sterilisation was carried out with the clip method, which causes less trauma to the Fallopian tubes than the tube being cut and tied.  Overall success rates vary from between 65 to 95 per cent, largely depending on the experience of the surgeon, whether a microscope is used, and the type of sterilisation being reversed.  Best of luck, and I hope you get the result you seek.
