Tubectomy is a method of sterilisation in which:
Small part of the Fallopian tube is removed or tied up
Ovaries are removed surgically
Small part of vas deferens is removed or tied up
Uterus is removed surgically
According to the NCERT text, Tubectomy is a surgical sterilisation procedure for females. In this procedure, a "small part of the fallopian tube is removed or tied up" through a small incision in the abdomen or through the vagina. This blocks gamete transport and prevents conception. In contrast, the removal or tying up of the vas deferens applies to Vasectomy in males.
