Dr. Yvette Kratzberg answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

No: A bilateral Salpingectomy removes the fallopian tubes. Since the fallopian tubes are required to move the egg from the ovary to the uterus, there is no chance of a viable pregnancy. There is a small chance of an ectopic pregnancy, but it is minimal. You do not need to use BCP's because this procedure is considered permanent birth control.
