Tubal ligation by the Irving method starts by placing two ligatures around the fallopian tube. The tied end of the segment of fallopian tube attached to the uterus is sutured into the back side of the uterus, and the other tied end is buried in the connective tissue underlying the fallopian tube. As with other ligation/resection methods, the Irving technique leaves behind two healthy tubal segments that can be put back together with tubal reversal microsurgery. The pregnancy rate after reversal of an Irving tubal ligation is 60-70%.
