Testicular Sperm Extraction (TESE)

TESE is a male factor procedure during which oocytes are injected with sperm extracted from testicular biopsy. We began performing TESE as a hospital procedure in 1994, and began offering TESE as an office-based procedure in 2001.

Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD)

PGD is an embryo biopsy which can be performed in conjuction with an IVF cycle to detect the presence of serious genetic diseases (such as Tay-Sachs, Sickle Cell Anemia, Cystic Fibrosis, etc). Our pregnancy success rates reported below are for years 2005 - July 2010.

Tubal Reversal Success Rates

The success rates for a tubal reversal surgery vary depending on whether one or both tubes can be reversed and the length of tube. That information is typically not known until the surgery is completed but we try to give the best estimate based on the information from your tubal ligation reports and the results of a hysterosalpingogram (HSG - dye test that shows how long the tube is coming off the uterus). Pregnancy rates have been reported between 40% and 80% depending on the above factors.

Dr. Martin performed his first tubal reversal more than 20-years ago. Dr. Neal performed his first tubal reversal in 1991, and now performs this surgery using the da Vinci Surgical System robotic technology. The traditional tubal reversal is done via a laparotomy, a large abdominal incision similar to a C-section incision. The laparotomy requires the patient to stay in the hospital for several days and the recovery time is 2-4 weeks. The da Vinci technology allows us to perform complex procedures through a few small incisions in the abdomen. As a result, the patient is able to go home the same day as surgery and recovery time is usually less than a week. The da Vinci system provides high-definition 3D vision and a magnified view that enhance the ability to successfully perform the tubal reversal.
