Abstract
Tubal sterilization is a widely used permanent contraceptive method for women who had completed their desired childbearing. It accounts for approximately 10% to 40% of contraceptive methods throughout the world (1,2). The method of tubal sterilization varies according to the expertise available from fimbriectomy to classical Pomeroy's to laparoscopic sterilization.[3] More than 45.5% women undergoing sterilization are between 20 and 25 years of age. Although it is done as a permanent method of sterilization, due to unforeseen circumstances, 1%–3% of these women subsequently demand reversal of sterilization.[4]. This procedure successfully unblocks one or both tubes in up to 90% of patients. Intrauterine pregnancy after successful recanalization occurs in 30-50%, with most pregnancies occurring in the first three to six months after the procedure .Here we are presenting a case of successful term pregnancy following recanalization.
