Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Tubal reversal is an expensive procedure. It can cost you around 15 thousand dollars for the surgery, along with anesthesia and hospital fees and the cost of fertility tests required before the procedure .
In general, good candidates for tubal reversal are women who had only small parts of their fallopian tubes removed, or whose tubes were closed using rings or clips. Some surgeons say the best candidates for tubal reversal are women younger than age 40 who had sterilization surgery immediately following childbirth, a procedure called postpartum tubal ligation.
The chances of pregnancy in the first year after the reversal procedure vary between 45-60%.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.

Wishing you good health.
