The Pomeroy technique is one of the most frequent methods of tubal ligation surgery and is characterized by resection (or removal) of a portion of the fallopian tube. This involves tying a suture around segment of the tube and removing. Many surgeons like the Pomeroy procedure because it is simple and effective. Pomeroy Tubal Ligation is most often performed after delivery by Cesarean section. Pomeroy tubal ligation typically leaves two healthy segments of fallopian tube that can be rejoined through tubal reversal surgery. The amount of tube removed can be determined prior to tubal reversal from the tubal ligation operative report and pathology report.
