Tubectomy, also known as Tubal Ligation, is a common method of contraception in India. This surgical procedure involves blocking, clamping, sealing, or cutting the fallopian tubes. It is done in order to prevent the sperm from reaching the egg for fertilization. Tubectomy is a permanent form of sterilization and cannot be reversed. At Nimai's Borneo Mother and Child Hospitals, skilled surgeons perform this procedure using advanced facilities.
Tubectomy can be performed in different ways depending on the circumstances. It can be done after vaginal childbirth, during a caesarean section, or as a separate outpatient procedure. During an outpatient tubal ligation, a laparoscope, which is a thin tube with a camera, is used under short-acting general anesthesia. The entire procedure takes place in an operation theatre. However, our experts at Nimai's Borneo Mother and Child Hospitals advise that the risk of complications is higher if you have had previous pelvic or abdominal surgery before undergoing tubal ligation surgery.
Tubectomy is a permanent method of contraception for women, meaning it cannot be undone. It is important to understand that once the procedure is done, there is no going back. However, there are cases where women may consider a reversal. Reversal surgery can be performed, but it is not guaranteed to be successful. It has been proved by the research and studies that tubal reversal which is a microsurgery to undo the effects of tubectomy, can sometimes be successful. However, it is important to note that the chances of getting pregnant after reversal surgery are generally low.
