FAILED BILATERAL TUBAL LIGATION; A RARE BUT REAL PHENOMENON – CASE REPORT

Abstract

Background: Female sterilization by tubal ligation is the most commonly used method of fertility regulation worldwide with over 190 million couples using it. All methods of tubal sterilization can fail but some sterilization methods have lower failure rates than others. Case report: We report a 39-year-old grandmultipara who presented with an ongoing pregnancy 7 years after bilateral tubal ligation done during an emergency caesarean section. Conclusion: Failure after surgical tubal ligation although rare, can still occur especially in tubal ligation done at caesarean section
