Tubal Ligation

Safe and permanent birth control through minimally invasive fallopian tube closure

What is Tubal Ligation?

Tubal ligation is a permanent form of birth control that involves surgically blocking or cutting the fallopian tubes to prevent eggs from reaching the uterus. This highly effective sterilization procedure can be performed using minimally invasive techniques with excellent safety and success rates.

Highly Effective: Tubal ligation is over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy and is considered the most reliable form of permanent birth control.

Tubal Ligation Methods

We offer several safe and effective techniques:

  • Laparoscopic Tubal Ligation: Minimally invasive approach through small abdominal incisions
  • Postpartum Tubal Ligation: Performed immediately after delivery through small incision
  • Interval Tubal Ligation: Performed at any time unrelated to pregnancy
  • Clips and Rings: Mechanical devices to block fallopian tubes
  • Electrocautery: Electrical energy to seal tube segments
  • Tubal Removal: Complete removal of fallopian tubes (salpingectomy)

Procedure Options

Laparoscopic Approach

Minimally invasive surgery through small incisions with camera guidance for precision.

Postpartum Timing

Convenient sterilization immediately after delivery while already in the hospital.

Interval Procedure

Elective sterilization at any time with careful pre-operative counseling.

Important Considerations

Before choosing tubal ligation, consider:

  • Permanence: This is intended as permanent birth control
  • Reversal difficulty: Reversal surgery is complex and not always successful
  • Age considerations: Younger women may be more likely to regret the decision
  • Relationship status: Consider future relationship changes
  • Alternative methods: Long-acting reversible contraception (IUDs, implants)
  • Medical benefits: Salpingectomy may reduce ovarian cancer risk
  • No STI protection: Does not protect against sexually transmitted infections
