Design: Educational surgical video of a case of successful tubal reanastomosis using robot-assistance resulting in pregnancy.
Setting: Patient positioned in dorsal lithotomy, four robotic port sites and one accessory laparoscopic port site with an assistant.
Patients or Participants: Single participant who consented to surgical video and outcome dissemination for educational and publication purposes.
Interventions: Robot-assisted laparoscopic fallopian tube reanastomosis
Measurements and Main Results: The patient's candidacy was selected based on young age, multiparity, desire for conception again after tubal ligation with Filshie clips, and the patient's own decision to prefer tubal reversal over in-vitro fertilization. Pregnancy was achieved two months post-operatively and delivery is expected soon.
Conclusion: Using our demonstrated technique, successful pregnancy after tubal ligation can be achieved via fallopian tube reanastomosis
