In bilateral tubal ligation, the surgeon typically uses absorbable sutures, such as polyglactin (Vicryl) or polyglycolic acid, to close the incision after the procedure.

What are the two basic types of sutures in dental?
The two basic types of sutures in dental practice are absorbable and non-absorbable sutures. Absorbable sutures are made from materials that the body can naturally break down over time, eliminating the need for removal, while non-absorbable sutures are made from materials that remain in the body and require removal after healing. Each type has specific applications depending on the surgical site and the healing requirements of the patient.
