Surgical methods of contraception

In tubectomy a small part of the fallopian tube is removed or tied up through a small incision in the abdomen or through the vagina.

The figure shows the female reproductive system with a small part of each fallopian tube cut and tied.
This surgical method of sterilisation in females is called tubectomy.
Vasectomy is the corresponding method in males, where the vas deferens is cut or tied.
