Yes: Tubal ligation is about 99% or more effective in preventing pregnancy, which means there is a small failure rate associated with the procedure. Moreover, if pregnancy does occur after tubal ligation, there is a higher risk that it can be an ectopic (tubal) pregnancy , which is potentially dangerous, hence immediate contact with your GYN is advised, should one become pregnant after tubal ligation.

Yes and yes: Yes, tubal ligations can and do fail because the tubes put themselves back together by growing around the ligation. This occurs less than 1% of the time depending upon the type and method of the original procedure.
