VerifiedThe failure rate of tubal ligation is 3-6/1000 It is different depending on the type of tubal ligation. The failure rate is lower for the first year and higher as each year goes by. Data is ten year data. There is no one or one and a half year data since that would be meaningless. So depending on the type of tubal done its about 0.3 - 0.7% Its on the higher end for bands or clips and on the lower end for burning or cutting.

Thank you to the Physician who answered my question today. The answer was far more informative than what I got from the Physicians I saw in person for my problem.
