The procedure was performed by Lawson Tait in 1883 in women with a bleeding ectopic pregnancy; this procedure has since saved the lives of countless women. Other indications for a<unk>  include infected tubes (as in a hydrosalpinx) or as part of the surgical procedure for tubal cancer. A bilateral<unk>  will lead to sterility, and was used for that purpose; however, less invasive, possibly reversible procedures have become available as tubal occlusion procedures. Bilateral<unk> es continue to be requested by some voluntarily childfree people over tubal ligation because it reduces the risk of developing cancer; this is called prophylactic<unk> . It can be performed non-electively on women who are at a high risk of developing ovarian cancer, as a preventative measure.
