Fallopian tube ligation (or “tying the tubes”) is surgery to close a woman’s fallopian tubes — i.e. the tubes that connect the ovaries to the womb — so that she cannot get pregnancy (sterile).Ordinarily, the fallopian tubes move ovum from the ovary to the womb about once a month. If a male sperm cell meets up with an ovum, pregnancy may occur. If the fallopian tubes are blocked, or “tied,” sperm cells can’t fertilize an egg, and conception will not take place.Tubal operation is performed in the hospital while on anesthesia. The doctor will make 1 or 2 small cuts in your belly region, usually near the bellybutton.The doctor will introduce a narrow tube with a camera on the end (called laparoscope) into the pelvis area. Instruments to block the tubal ligation reversal are sent via the laparoscope. The fallopian tubes are either burned shut (i.e. cauterizations) or closed by using a small clip.
