Geography: Brown bears are the most widely distributed bears in the world. They are found in North America, Europe, and Asia. Two subspecies of brown bear are native to North America: the grizzly bear (U. a. horribilis) and the Kodiak bear (U. a. middendorffi).
Tubal ligation. 1  There is a slight risk of becoming pregnant after tubal ligation. This happens to about 5 out of 1,000 women after 1 year. 2  Pregnancy may occur if: The tubes grow back together or a new passage forms (recanalization) that allows an egg to be fertilized by sperm.
Tubal status. The length of the remaining tubal stumps after tubal ligation (or cauterization if the tubes were burned instead of tied or clipped) is very important. The longer the 2 remaining stumps are on each side the better the chances for successful reversal and pregnancy.
