	Rubber band ligation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rubber band ligation is a popular procedure, as it involves less pain than surgical treatments of hemorrhoids, as well as a shorter recovery period.
		Ligation of hemorrhoids was first recorded by Hippocrates in 460 BC, who wrote about using thread to tie off hemorrhoids.
		In modern history, ligation using rubber band was introduced in 1958 by Blaisdell and refined in 1963 by Barron, who introduced a mechanical device called the Barron ligator.

	MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Tubal ligation
		Tubal ligation is the surgical procedure commonly known as "tying the tubes".
		Tubal ligation permanently sterilizes a woman by preventing transport of the egg (ovum) to the uterus, and by blocking the passage of sperm up the tube to the ovulating ovary where fertilization normally occurs.
		Tubal ligation is done in the hospital or outpatient surgical clinic while the patient is under anesthesia.

	Tubal Ligation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		A tubal ligation is a simple operation to block off the fallopian tubes that lead from the ovaries to the womb and thereby prevent a woman from getting pregnant.
		The fallopian tubes are like two long, straight pieces of macaroni that let the sperm reach the egg and fertilize it, and then provide a passage for the fertilized egg to go back to the womb and grow into a baby.
		In some types of tubal ligation, sutures are tied round the tube to pinch it off and this is likely why the operation has become to be known as “having your tubes tied”.

	Ligation
		Ligations can be done at room temperature for anywhere from 30 minutes to overnight depending on what is most convenient.
		For sticky-end ligations (eg.: a vector cut with NcoI and PstI and insert with the same ends), the best ligation conditions are those in which there is a 3 to 4 fold molar excess of insert over vector.
		If you have multiple steps in your cloning, such as phosphatasing or Klenow reactions, you may lose some DNA and may need to compensate for this by adding more insert or vector to the ligation reaction (depending on whether it is the vector or insert which has undergone the multiple steps).

		Furthermore, when the features of the various ligation kits are compared, the Ligation Express Kit stands out as requiring the least amount of time—and the fewest number of steps--to prepare recombinant clones.
		The ligation of vector with insert is a critical step when constructing large, complex cDNA libraries in plasmid vectors, especially when the amount of mRNA starting material is limited or difficult to obtain.
		The highest ligation efficiencies are desirable because they will result in the maximal number of primary transformants per µg of input DNA (i.e., high transformation efficiency) as well as in a higher percentage of transformants that contain an insert (i.e., recombination efficiency).

		Tubal ligation, regardless of whether the tubes are cut, burned, clipped, banded, or tied, is about 99 percent effective, meaning that about 1 percent of women will conceive an unplanned pregnancy after tubal ligation.
