Tubal Ligation Explained - Fallopian Tube Anatomy. Illustrations
Tubal ligation is a surgical procedure that blocks the fallopian tube and prevents fertilization. Normal fallopian tube anatomy is described and illustrated.

What Everyone Should Know About Tubal Reversal Surgery
Dr. Berger's "Reversal Illustrations" page on Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center's website shows pictures of how Dr. Berger repairs the fallopian tubes and explains his technique in detail: "After opening the blocked ends of the remaining tubal segments, a narrow flexible stent is gently threaded through their inner cavities or lumens into the uterine cavity. This ensures that the fallopian tube is open from the uterine cavity to its fimbrial end. The newly created tubal openings are then drawn next to each other by placing a retention suture in the connective tissue that lies beneath the fallopian tubes. The retention suture avoids the likelihood of the tubal segments subsequently pulling apart. Microsurgical sutures are used to precisely align the muscular portion (muscularis) and outer layer (serosa), while avoiding the inner layer (mucosa), of the fallopian tube. The tubal stent is then gently withdrawn from the fimbrial end of the tube."
