Tubal ligation is a surgical method of permanent contraception in which the fallopian tubes are blocked, preventing the meeting of the egg and sperm. It is intended for women who have completed their family planning and desire a definitive contraceptive solution. The method is highly effective and does not affect ovarian hormonal function.
In modern gynecological practice, tubal ligation is usually performed laparoscopically through small abdominal incisions. The minimally invasive approach allows for rapid recovery, less postoperative pain, and a quick return to daily activities. Prior to the procedure, thorough counseling and confirmation of the woman’s informed decision are essential.
