A member asked:
Are your tubes able to grow back together after so long from a tubal ligation?

Very rare: Although listed as a possibility, this is extremely rare. These days most surgeons not only tie the ends, but also cauterize each side. The chance of both sides coming untied and rejoining despite being cauterized is very, very low.

Possible: Older techniques and passage of time - are some risks. This is rare.
