Does cervical cancer surgery affect tubal ligations?

No: Depending on the type and severity of the cancer, surgery may be local or a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) local surgeries do not affect your tubal ligation.

No: Pre-cancer of the cervix, also called dysplasia, is often treated with leep surgery which would not affect a tubal ligation. More serious invasive cancers of the surgery generally require a hysterectomy, in which case a tubal ligation would no longer be necessary, but the hysterectomy would not change the tubes or adversely affect them.

Cancer or Dysplasia?: Either way, cervical cancer can be treated with a radical hysterectomy (if less than stage ib) which makes a tl a mute point. Radiation therapy or chemo won't affect your tl either. If you have dysplasia, leep or cold cone biopsy won't affect your tl either. It's actually a benefit knowing your tubes are blocked with some of the above treatments.
