Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jenna most likely had a tubal ligation, also known as "getting her tubes tied." This is a laparoscopic procedure that involves closing off or blocking the fallopian tubes to prevent eggs from reaching the uterus and becoming fertilized, thus making the person sterile. A hysterectomy involves the removal of the uterus and is usually only performed in cases of medical necessity. A vasectomy is a procedure for males to become sterile by cutting or blocking the tubes that carry sperm. A hysterotomy is a type of cesarean section where the uterus is incised to deliver a baby. It is not related to sterilization.
