Tubal ligation is tying of the fallopian tube which will result in permanent contraception. However, the procedure can be reversed laparoscopically. It should be noted that the chances of women getting pregnant after re-canalization depends on age and the function of their ovaries. This is a sophisticated procedure, handled by just a few highly skilled surgeons.

Laparoscopic tubal recanalization has many advantages over open operation.  The principal advantage of laparoscopic tubal recanalization is no big cut is made on the skin, which would result in minimal scarring.  The procedure requires only minimal tissue handling, so less postoperative adhesions.  The smaller incisions will also aid speedy recovery post surgery.  Scope of complications is kept minimal.  In most cases, patients will be able to leave the hospital post procedure within hours after having the procedure.
