Tubal Ligation is usually performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon makes small incisions in the abdomen to access the fallopian tubes, which are then cut, tied, or sealed. Recovery time is typically short, with most women returning to normal activities within a few days.
Tubal Implants are placed using a hysteroscope, which is inserted through the vagina and cervix into the uterus. The procedure is usually done under local anesthesia and takes about 30 minutes. After the procedure, it takes about three months for the scar tissue to form and fully block the tubes.
