Tied And Cut Tubal Ligations: An Easy Explanation On Tying Tubes

Tubes are never just tied to prevent pregnancy. If tubes were simply tied there would be a large number of tubal ligation failures and most of these pregnancies would be ectopic. Many people mistakenly believe a tubal ligation is done by simply tying the tubes. This is incorrect. The tubes are tied to prevent bleeding after the tubes are cut. The tubes are cut to remove a segment of tube and to further decrease the chance of a tubal ligation failure. There are many variations to a tied and cut tubal ligation: Pomeroy, Parkland, Irving and Uchida. Most of these tubal ligations can be reversed by the tubal reversal specialists of Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center.
