What is the difference between tubal ligation and tubal removal?

As the name suggests, the fallopian tube is the channel that transports eggs. In life, some women choose to actively "block" the fallopian tube, which is medically known as tubal ligation. This operation is generally chosen to prevent themselves from getting pregnant unexpectedly. Of course, fallopian tube obstruction may also be pathological, and bilateral fallopian tube obstruction is quite common in life. So, what is the difference between tubal ligation and tubal removal?

Resection means cutting the fallopian tube, so it no longer exists, while ligation is equivalent to tying the tube tightly with a rope. The fallopian tube still exists, but can no longer serve the purpose of transportation.

The fallopian tube is the channel that transports eggs and is also the place where eggs and sperm combine for fertilization. Tubal ligation is a safe and permanent birth control measure that achieves the purpose of sterilization by cutting, ligating, electrocoagulating, clamping, or cuffing the fallopian tubes, preventing sperm and eggs from meeting. The surgical procedure can be performed transabdominally/laparoscopically or transvaginally.
