Most women are happy with their decision to get sterilized. It is a highly effective method of contraception that is not designed to be reversible. But sometimes circumstances change and a couple want to try again for a baby. Sterilization is most commonly performed using keyhole or laparoscopic surgery. The tubes are blocked by a small plastic clip or ring that is surgically placed across them. Occasionally, sterilization is carried out by removing part or all of the tubes at the time of surgery. These procedures stop the sperm and egg from meeting.

Sterilization can be reversed successfully in many cases, providing there is not too much damage to the tubes and there is a reasonable amount of healthy tube remaining.
