Tubal ligation is a surgical procedure that cuts, ties, or blocks the fallopian tubes to prevent pregnancy. Despite its effectiveness, instances of pregnancy after tubal ligation do occur, commonly referred to as “post-ligation pregnancies”.
Post-ligation pregnancies are rare, affecting approximately 1 in every 200 women who undergo the procedure. However, they can have significant implications for the woman’s reproductive health and well-being. Understanding the factors contributing to post-ligation pregnancies is crucial for providing appropriate counseling and optimizing reproductive outcomes.
