Tubal occlusion is a voluntary surgical procedure for permanently terminating a woman's fertility.  Tubal occlusion can be done by minilaparatomy or laparoscopy.  Tubal occlusion blocks the fallopian tubes (tying and cutting, rings, clips or electrocautery) and sperm are prevented from reaching the ova and causing fertilization.
