Laparoscopic tubal ligation is a surgical sterilization procedure in which a woman's fallopian tubes are either clamped and blocked or severed and sealed. Both methods prevent eggs from being fertilized. Tubal ligation is a permanent method of sterilization.
A salpingectomy is a surgical procedure where one or both of a woman's fallopian tubes are removed. It's performed to treat certain conditions of the fallopian tubes and ectopic pregnancies, and as a preventative measure for women at higher risk of developing ovarian cancer.
Tubal Reanastomosis (Tubal Reversal) is surgery to reopen, untie, or reconnect a woman's fallopian tubes so she can become pregnant.

Tubal ligation — also known as having your tubes tied or tubal sterilization — is a type of permanent birth control. During tubal ligation, the fallopian tubes are cut, tied or blocked to permanently prevent pregnancy.
A tubal ligation blocks a section of the fallopian tubes. But a tubal removal, or salpingectomy, takes the entire tube.
Tubal Reanastomosis The mucosal and muscular layers of the tubal segments are sutured with 4 interrupted 8-0 Vicryl sutures.
Post-Tubal Ligation Syndrome (PTLS) is a cluster of symptoms reported which include heavy or missing menstrual periods, hormonal problems, or problems that may mimic menopause. Its existence remains controversial among doctors and researchers.
A fimbrioplasty is a surgery that restores the integrity of the fallopian tubes and allows women who have struggled with infertility to become pregnant.
When solely for elective sterilization, the correct code per ACOG is 58670. 58661 is reserved for patients with a disease process.
5. Laparoscopic lysis of adhesions (CPT codes 44180 or 58660) is not separately reportable with other surgical laparoscopic procedures. 6.
A Code 58662 (laparoscopy, surgical; with fulguration or excision of lesions of the ovary, pelvic viscera, or peritoneal surface by any method) would cover the removal of the left ovarian excrescences, but does not capture the lysis of adhesions.
Remember, there's almost no chance you'll get pregnant after the surgery. But you should still be aware that there's a small chance of having an ectopic pregnancy. One study found that a third of unintended post-tubal ligation pregnancies were ectopic.
While tubal ligation is effective in preventing most pregnancies, it isn't an absolute. An estimated 1 out of every 200 women will become pregnant after tubal ligation. Tubal ligation can increase your risk of an ectopic pregnancy.
While a hysterectomy involves the removal of the uterus, tubal ligation requires the removal or cutting of the fallopian tubes. Tubal ligation is a form of permanent sterilization that prevents sperm from reaching the egg. It is one of the most popular forms of birth control.
Tubal ligation is one of the most effective methods of birth control. In general, about 95 out of every 100 women who get their tubes tied will never become pregnant. But in some cases the tube(s) may grow back together, making pregnancy possible.
Aetna considers the following procedures medically necessary for tubal ligation sterilization:
The Essure Miro-Insert System is a hysteroscopic approach to tubal sterilization. The primary advantages of the Essure System over other techniques of female sterilization are that the Essure System is non-incisional and sterilization can be performed without general anesthesia.
Hysteroscopic tubal sterilization is contraindicated in any woman who:
