Is it possible to get pregnant once your tubes have been removed?

No, it is not possible to get pregnant if your fallopian tubes have been surgically removed, a procedure known as a tubal ligation or salpingectomy. The fallopian tubes are essential for the egg and sperm to meet, as they are the pathway for the egg to travel from the ovaries to the uterus. Without these tubes, there is no natural route for fertilization to occur. However, pregnancy can still be achieved through in vitro fertilization (IVF), where the egg is fertilized outside the body and then implanted directly into the uterus.
