What is a Colpotomy Tubal Ligation?

A tubal ligation is a surgical procedure to sterilize a woman to prevent pregnancy. A common lay-term is "tying my tubes". There are multiple procedures to do this. One way is Colpotomy. This involves a small incision vaginally. There is no gas used, so the recuperation is generally easier. Not every patient is a candidate for this procedure, so you should discuss this option with your physician.
