First Essure Reversal Baby Born
Online, March 31, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Lakeshore Surgical Center made medical history on November 5, 2007 by being the first facility to perform an Essure Reversal. The Essure procedure was first introduced in November 2002 and was reported to be NOT reversible by the manufacturing company. Dr. William Greene and Dr. Wendell Turner developed specific instruments to allow for the Essure coil-like device to be removed with the utmost of care, and not damage the fallopian tube. Dr. William Greene has designed a custom needle to sew the tube back into the wall of the uterus without cutting the uterus open.
On January 27, 2010 the doctors and Lakeshore Surgical Center again achieved another first, the first Essure Reversal baby was born. The Essure Reversal patient delivered at baby boy and both mother and baby are now at home and doing well.
This major milestone in the medical field of Reproductive Surgery and Infertility has demonstrated not only to the medical community but to the pateints around the world, that the Essure procedure can not only be reversed but transition into a successful pregnancy. There have been multiple pregnancies confirmed by Essure Reversal patients at Lakeshore Surgical Center, two have resulted in miscarriage but this is the first pregnancy to be carried to term.
This breakthrough now gives women, who want to have more children, due to divorce, loss of a child or have just changed their mind, that Tubal Reversal is an option.
To date, Lakeshore Surgical Center has performed over 18 Essure Reversal, including the case above who delivered in January and we are now expecting our second Essure Reversal baby, confirmed by the patient's physician. This advance in Reproductive Surgery will allow women to be able to conceive naturally, after having the Essure Reversal. In-Vitro Fertilization and other infertility treatments are no longer the only option for women who have made this choice and changed their mind.

Lakeshore Surgical Center is a cutting edge facility, located in Gainesville, Georgia, that for over 10 years has performed thousands of Tubal Ligation Reversals, and provided women with the opportunity to become "pregnant again".
