Tubal ligation or tubectomy (also known as having one's "tubes tied" (ligation)) is a surgical procedure for sterilization in which a woman's fallopian tubes are clamped and blocked, or severed and sealed, either method of which prevents eggs from reaching the uterus for fertilization. Tubal ligation is considered a permanent method of sterilization and birth control.

Laparoscopic tubal ligation is successful in preventing pregnancy in more than 99 out of 100 women. Through the use of a specialized tool called a laparoscope, the doctor is able to view the inside of a woman's abdomen and block the fallopian tubes, thus preventing pregnancy. While no surgery is completely free of risks, major complications occur in less than 1 out of 100 procedures.
