Tubal Ligation

Dr. Marashi is an internationally recognized leader in laparoscopic and minimally invasive surgery. He performs conventional laparoscopic or DualPortGYN procedures, helping patients avoid more invasive open and robotic procedures performed by many OB/GYNs. What is Tubal Ligation? Tubal ligation, also known as having your tubes tied or tubal sterilization, is a type of permanent birth control. During a tubal ligation, the fallopian tubes are cut or blocked to prevent pregnancy permanently. A tubal ligation actually disrupts the movement of the egg to the uterus for fertilization and blocks sperm from traveling up the fallopian tubes to the egg. This procedure does not affect your menstrual cycle. It can be done at any time, including after childbirth or in combination with another abdominal surgical procedure, such as a C-section. It is possible to reverse a tubal ligation, but reversal requires major surgery and isn’t always effective. Why Is Tubal Ligation Done? Tubal ligation is one of the most commonly used surgical sterilization procedures for women. Tubal ligation permanently prevents pregnancy, ending the need for any type of contraception. Tubal ligation may also decrease the risk of ovarian cancer. Tubal ligation isn’t appropriate for everyone. Your doctor at Professional Gynecological Services will make sure you fully understand the risks and benefits of this procedure. The doctor may also talk to you about other options, such as hysteroscopic sterilization. Hysteroscopic sterilization involves placing a small coil or other inserts into the fallopian tubes through the cervix. The insert causes scar tissue to form and seal off the tubes.
