Laparoscopic Tubal Ligation

Written By Christopher Price

In this procedure, I place small clamps (Filshie Clips) on the fallopian tubes as a method of contraception.    

It is a Day Case operation.     

It does not alter uterine or ovarian blood flow so your periods will not change because of the procedure.  

  • The clips will not set off metal detectors at the airport.  

  • The failure rate is 1-2 per 1000  

  • It is permanent.  

  • It is not reversible............ OK, you know it can be reversed but it is another operation, it may not work and you might just wind up with ectopic pregnancy. SO, only have your ‘tubes tied' if you never want to be pregnant to anyone ever again for any reason.  

The procedure is much the same as for Diagnostic Laparoscopy.
