TUBAL LIGATION Tubal ligation (or "tying the tubes") is surgery to close a woman's fallopian tubes. These tubes connect the ovaries to the uterus. A woman who has this surgery can no longer get pregnant (sterile). Tubal ligation is done in a hospital or outpatient clinic. You may receive general anesthesia. This will make you unconscious and unable to feel pain. Or, you may have local anesthesia (awake and unable to feel pain) or spinal anesthesia (awake but unable to feel pain). You will likely receive medicine to also make you sleepy. The procedure takes about 30 minutes. Your surgeon will make one or two small incisions (cuts) in your belly, usually around the belly button. Gas may be pumped into your belly to expand it. This helps your surgeon see your uterus and fallopian tubes. Your surgeon will insert a laparoscope (a narrow tube with a tiny camera on the end) into your belly. Instruments to block off your tubes will be inserted through the laparoscope or through a separate, very small incision. The tubes are either cauterized (burned shut) or clamped off with a small clip or ring (band). Tubal ligation can also be done right after you have a baby through a small incision in the navel or during a cesarean section. Another technique for sterilization involves going through the cervix and placing coils or plugs in the tubes where they connect with the uterus (sterilization implants).
