Look at the small surgical incisions
February 28th, 2010 by admin
Once the joining (i.e. anastomosis) is accomplished, a blue contrast material is injected via the uterine cervix, moving along the womb and tubes, up to the abdominal cavity. This is done to make certain the fallopian tubes have been joined properly and that the joining is working well.All surgical instruments are removed, the gas is extracted from the abdominal cavity, and the patient is woken up and moved to the recovery room to be observed and takrn care of by the nurses, tubal ligation reversal as well as by the anesthesiologist who makes sure the patient is well and free from any problems. On the average, 2 to 4 hours afterwards almost all patients are usually discharged.Patients are observed 1 week after the procedure to look at the small surgical incisions and take off any stitches if essential. Generally, the few stitches that were put will be below the skin and will be absorbed by the tissues, without the need for removal.
