Depends on how done: It depends on the manner in which the Fallopian tubes are interrupted. Clips of the tube are less secure and have a higher failure rate. Cauterization of the tube in more the one place is more secure as well as removing a section of the tube itself. (1/10,000 failure rate) Fallopian tubes can put themselves back together again by re-canalization. as to one reason for sterilization failure.

1-20/1000 after 10yr: The reported failure rate of most surgical sterilization operations performed by a variety of different techniques and using various methods ( minilaparotomy, Pomeroy's procedure; laparoscopic clip, band or electrocoagulation-transection;...;hysteroscopic Essure tubal occlusion...) varies between 1/1000 and 20/1000
