What is Tubal Ligation?

Tubal ligation is a surgical method of birth control where the fallopian tubes are closed off or removed. This prevents eggs from reaching the uterus and being fertilized by sperm.

Common methods include:

  • Laparoscopic clipping or banding of the tubes
  • Electrocautery (sealing the tubes with heat)
  • إزالة قناة فالوب (استئصال قناة فالوب)، وهو أمر شائع بشكل متزايد للوقاية من السرطان
  • Mini-laparotomy (small abdominal incision, often after childbirth)

Unlike hormonal methods, tubal ligation is permanent, non-hormonal, and does not affect menstrual cycles or sexual function.


Who is a Candidate for Tubal Ligation?

  • Have completed their family
  • Are seeking a long-term, no-maintenance birth control solution
  • Cannot use hormonal contraceptives due to medical reasons
  • Want to undergo sterilization at the time of cesarean section or immediately after delivery

In Korea, patients receive informed counseling before the procedure to ensure clarity and understanding of its permanence.


How is Tubal Ligation Performed in Korea?

Korean clinics offer minimally invasive laparoscopic tubal ligation as the most common approach.

Procedure Overview:

  • Performed under general anesthesia
  • 1–3 small incisions are made in the abdomen
  • A laparoscope (small camera) and instruments are inserted
  • Fallopian tubes are clipped, cauterized, tied, or removed
  • Incisions are closed with absorbable sutures

Surgery time: 30–60 minutes
 Hospital stay: Same-day discharge or 1-night stay depending on the clinic

Patients choosing postpartum tubal ligation (immediately after delivery) may undergo the procedure through a mini-laparotomy incision near the navel.


Recovery After Tubal Ligation

Recovery is typically smooth and quick.

What to expect:

  • Mild cramping, abdominal soreness, or bloating
  • Light vaginal spotting
  • Return to work and light activities within 2–3 days
  • Full recovery within 1 week
  • Avoid intercourse and strenuous exercise for about 7 days

Menstrual cycles continue normally after the procedure, and hormonal balance is unaffected.
