I'm skeptical about this. Tubal ligations work wonders for most women.

General anesthesia is always dangerous. Anything that averts the need for it will save lives. Every year, a lot of people die from anesthesia complications during minor surgery such as wisdom tooth extraction, D&Cs, etc.

It's a long recouperation afterward. If you have children at home, you may not be able to do that.

This sounds much more complicated and invasive than a tubal.

Yeh, but... I know several women who became pregnant well after tubal ligations. Not that this method would necessarily have a higher success rate, but at someone's been researching alternatives.
