There should be an adequate margin between the suture and the cut end to prevent the cut ends of the tube from slipping out of the suture. The cut ends of the tube are inspected to visualize the tubal lumen; this confirms resection of a full thickness of the tube. As the tubal stumps heal, the suture absorbs and the end fall apa The failure rate is only 0.4% and it is mainly due to spontaneous canalization.
