A woman’s fallopian tubes move ovum from the ovary

July 13th, 2009

Tubal ligation (i.e. “tying the fallopian tubes”) is surgery to close the fallopian tubes — i.e. the tube-shaped structures that join the ovary to the womb — so that she can no longer become pregnant (i.e. sterile).Ordinarily, a woman’s fallopian tubes move ovum from the ovary to the uterus once in a month. If a male sperm cell meets up with an egg, pregnancy can result. If the tubal ligation reversal are blocked, or “tied,” sperm can not fertilize an egg, and conception will not occur.Tubal operation is performed in the hospital while on anesthesia. The surgeon will make one or two small cuts in your abdomen region, usually near the bellybutton.
