What is a laparoscopic bilateral tubal ligation? Tubal ligation is a surgical procedure that creates permanent contraception, or sterilization. It is commonly referred to as having your “tubes tied.” The surgery blocks your fallopian tubes, preventing sperm from meeting egg, effectively preventing pregnancy. Bilateral means the procedure is being done to both fallopian tubes. Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive surgery technique that only uses a few small incisions in your lower abdomen.
