All pregnant women receiving prenatal care within the UAB Health System, and planning to undergo tubal ligation at the time of their scheduled cesarean delivery (primary or repeat) will be approached about the study. Patients will be randomized to receive either the standard tubal ligation practice at our institution (modified Pomeroy procedure or Parkland) or a complete salpingectomy. The objective of this trial is to evaluate if a complete salpingectomy can be performed safely and comparable to a standard postpartum tubal ligation.
