	UpToDate Patient information: Surgical sterilization of women
		The most common surgical sterilization procedure for women is performed on the fallopian tubes and is called a tubal ligation or having your "tubes tied".
		A tubal sterilization is usually performed by laparoscopic surgery, in which a flexible tube (laparoscope) is inserted through a small incision and used to view and operate inside a woman's abdomen.
		In a study of 10,685 women who underwent tubal sterilization and were followed for 8 to 14 years, 143 sterilization failures (pregnancies) were identified, therefore approximately 1 percent of the women became pregnant after the procedure [10,11].

		When dispensing a medication from a vial to the sterile field, the circulating nurse holds the vial while the scrub person uses a standard 18-gauge needle to withdraw the medication into the sterile syringe and then places a smaller gauge safety needle on the syringe to pass to the surgeon who administers the medication.
		The sterile, 18-gauge needle is not exposed to the patient's blood or other potentially infectious materials and does not pose a risk of exposure to the personnel involved in the process of dispensing or receiving the medication for the sterile field.
		If, during this procedure, the same needle used to withdraw the medication is also used to administer it to a patient through injection, OSHA would require the use of an appropriate engineering control (eg, safer medical device, sharp with engineered sharps injury protection).
