A tubal ligation procedure is a permanent method of birth control where the surgeon cuts or seals off the fallopian tubes in order to prevent pregnancy. During sexual intercourse sperms from the male are introduced into the vagina. They travel through a channel called cervix and into the uterus.

3: Pomeroy Technique: In a Pomeroy tubal ligation, the surgeon makes an incision to access the fallopian tube. This procedure is similar to falope rings but the difference is surgeon create a loop in the oviducts and tying it off.

After this procedure eggs cannot travel down the severed fallopian tube, and thus the woman cannot get pregnant.
