After a routine vaginal or cesarean delivery, tubal sterilization can generally be performed easily. Tubal sterilization may be done immediately following the completion of the vaginal delivery or after closure of the uterine incision during cesarean. If not completed at the time of cesarean or in the first few hours after delivery, the procedure is delayed until an appropriate time is available, generally within the first 48 hours after delivery. There are advantages to both immediate and delayed procedures.
