Abstract
Despite the advent of newer methods of contraception and reformulated oral contraceptives, female voluntary sterilization remains popular. Although this is presented as a permanent method of sterilization, traditional micro-surgical techniques have allowed more than 60% of women requesting reversal of sterilization to carry an intrauterine pregnancy.(1),(2) Like most of the gynecologic procedures, tubal re-anastomosis can also be performed laparoscopically.
