The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is not true with respect to vasectomy or tubal ligation (also known as tubectomy), we can analyze each option provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Procedures**: - **Vasectomy**: This is a surgical procedure for male sterilization where the vas deferens (the tube that carries sperm) is cut and tied, preventing sperm from entering the semen. - **Tubal Ligation (Tubectomy)**: This is a surgical procedure for female sterilization where the fallopian tubes are cut and tied, preventing the egg from traveling from the ovaries to the uterus. 2. **Analyze Each Statement**: - **Option 1**: "It is more difficult than vasectomy and is even more difficult to reverse." - This statement is true. Tubal ligation is generally considered more complex than vasectomy and is indeed more difficult to reverse. - **Option 2**: "No ovulation occurs, hence no fertilization is possible." - This statement is not true. Tubal ligation does not stop ovulation; it only prevents the egg from reaching the uterus. The ovaries still produce eggs, so ovulation occurs. Therefore, fertilization can still happen if the egg meets sperm outside the fallopian tubes. - **Option 3**: "It involves ligation of both fallopian tubes." - This statement is true. Tubal ligation involves the cutting and tying of both fallopian tubes. - **Option 4**: "The failure rate of this approach is almost 0%." - This statement is also true. Tubal ligation and vasectomy are among the most effective forms of contraception, with very low failure rates. 3. **Conclusion**: - The statement that is not true with respect to vasectomy or tubal ligation is **Option 2**: "No ovulation occurs, hence no fertilization is possible." ### Final Answer: **Option 2** is the statement that is not true with respect to vasectomy or tubal ligation. ---
