Tubal ligation: Various authorities have differing statistics on failure rates here is some general information. And one of the causes of failure is a tie coming loose. See below for general information. http://www.healthnavigator.org.nz/health-a-z/t/tubal-ligation/ If concerned re the possibility of pregnancy please see your doctor for testing.

Possible...but: highly doubtful. Not only are the tube tied,but usually the cut ends are cauterized.

They don't become: untied...and pregnancy after tubal ligation is rare. But it does occur. To interrupt the transit of an egg down the tube tubes can be tied together, clipped, banded, cut or burned shut. Surgical errors: incomplete/inadequate closure of the tube, recanalization/reopening of the tube or a fistula/tube developed to the peritoneal space with improper healing. Estimates: 1.8% over 10 years...RARE!
