Female Sterilisation
Some women will choose to go through a sterilisation procedure to prevent them from having children. The procedure involves blocking or sealing the fallopian tubes which in turn prevents sperms from being able to reach eggs and fertilise them.
The method is 99% effective in preventing pregnancy and doesn’t affect hormone levels. General the risks of the surgery are small but in some rare cases negligence can occur and if so, you’re entitled to make a claim.

What is Female Sterilisation?
Female sterilisation is an operation to permanently prevent pregnancy in women. The procedure will generally be carried out under general anaesthetic or local anaesthetic depending on your choice. The procedure involves blocking or sealing the fallopian tubes to prevent the eggs reaching the sperm and becoming fertilised.
The procedure is 99% effective in stopping pregnancy and is a common choice for females who don’t wish to have children due to it’s effectiveness but also because it doesn’t interfere with hormones. It is generally a low risk procedure but as with all surgery, there are some risks involved.
What are the risks?
Failed sterilisation procedures don’t come without risk and it can be a huge shock to a person when things do go wrong not just with the treatment procedure but also if the surgery doesn’t have the wanted effect which can lead to ethical dilemmas associated with unwanted pregnancies.
Problems that we can investigate on your behalf include:
- Mis-applied filshie clips to the fallopian tube
- Failure to prevent the fallopian tubes from re-growing
- Unnecessary surgery when a laparoscopy could have been used
- Tissue damage
- Permanent scarring
The effects of a failed sterilisation can have a devastating effect on family life. If a sterilisation has failed as a result of a medical mistake then we can help you win the compensation that you are entitled to.
