Brief Answer:
Can be done, usually laparoscopically
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for your question. Certainly you should be able to have a tubal ligation The C-section scarring should not interfere with the procedure. The typical way is for this to be done through a laparoscope so that you only have a few small scars where they introduce the instrument. The gynecologists introduce the laparoscope through a small incision, locate the fallopian tubes and then cut and ligate the through tools introduced in the laparoscope. Recover is usually quick and most women do very well with this procedure. Thank you for using HCM.
