A woman’s fallopian tubes move ovum
Fallopian tube ligation (i.e. “tying the fallopian tubes”) is operation to close a woman’s fallopian tubes — i.e. the tube-shaped structures that connect the ovary to the uterus — so that she can no longer get pregnancy (i.e. sterile).Ordinarily, a woman’s fallopian tubes move ovum from the ovary to the uterus about once a month. If a male’s sperm cell meets up with an ovum, pregnancy can result. If the tubes are blocked, or “tied,” sperm can not fertilize an egg, and will not happen, tubal reversal .Tubal operation is performed in the hospital while under anesthesia. The doctor will make one or two small incisions in your belly region, usually around the belly button.The physician will insert a narrow tube with a camera on the end (laparoscope) into the pelvic region. Surgical instruments to block the fallopian tubes are pushed through the laparoscope. The fallopian tubes are either burned shut (cauterized) or shut off with a tiny clip.
