Hello svdh-ga,
Thank you for your question.
The number of sterilizations by tubal ligations performed each year is
684,000.
The number of sterilizations by tubal ligations that are performed
after a C-section delivery is 143,640
The source of my information is Family Planning Perspectives

Title: Tubal Sterilization in the United States, 1994-1996
By Andrea P. MacKay, Burney A. Kieke, Jr., Lisa M. Koonin and Karen

These years represent the most recently available data on all tubal
sterilizations in the United States; the National Survey of Ambulatory
Surgery (NSAS) has not been repeated since 1996.
“No national reporting system exists to count sterilizations
performed in the United States. In the past three decades, a number of
studies by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and
EngenderHealth (formerly AVSC International) have attempted to
estimate the number of procedures performed each year, by combining
data from a variety of sources, including physicians who perform
sterilizations, medical facilities where sterilizations are performed
and comprehensive national surveys.”
“Information on tubal sterilizations from the National Hospital
Discharge Survey and the National Survey of Ambulatory Surgery was
analyzed to estimate the number and characteristics of women having a
tubal sterilization procedure in the United States during the period
1994-1996 and the resulting rates of tubal sterilization.”
“These years represent the most recently available data on all tubal
sterilizations in the United States; the National Survey of Ambulatory
Surgery (NSAS) has not been repeated since 1996.”
“In 1994-1996, more than two million tubal sterilizations were
performed, for an average annual rate of 11.5 per 1,000 women; half
were performed postpartum and half were interval procedures (i.e.,
were unrelated by timing to a pregnancy). All postpartum procedures
were performed during inpatient hospital stays, while 96% of interval
procedures were outpatient procedures. Postpartum sterilization rates
were higher than interval sterilization rates among women 20-29 years
of age; interval sterilization procedures were more common than
postpartum procedures at ages 35-49. Sterilization rates were highest
in the South.”
Table 1. Mean annual number, rate and percentage distribution of
tubal sterilization procedures, by timing of procedure and clinical
setting, United States, 1994–1996
Mean annual number of sterilizations by tubal ligations: 684,000
“Fifty-eight percent of women who had a postpartum sterilization had a
vaginal delivery, and 42% had a cesarean delivery.”

There are approximately 684,000 sterilizations by tubal ligations
performed each year in the United States.
Since half were done postpartum (342,000), and 42% of those were done
after a Ceserean delivery that would make 143,640 sterilizations by
tubal ligations that are performed after a C-section delivery.
The 684,000 sterilizations by tubal ligation indicated are very close
to the numbers I found on the following websites:
==========================
According to The Center for Reproductive Endocrinology sterilization
is the most common method of contraception in the United States.
“About 600,000 female sterilizations are performed every year in the
United States. Approximately 6% of sterilized women report regret or
request information about tubal reversal (re-anastomosis) within 5
years of their procedure and 1% undergo tubal reversal.”

From Conceptus Annual Report:
“An estimated 700,000 to 800,000 surgical tubal ligations are
performed each year in the U.S. Surgical tubal ligation has become the
most common form of birth control worldwide, despite the fact that it
is invasive and costly.”

From eMedicine.com:
“Currently, approximately 700,000 bilateral tubal sterilizations are
performed annually in the United States, of which half are performed
postpartum and half are ambulatory interval procedures.”

An article in the Philadelphia Inquirer dated May 05, 2003 by Marie
McCullough: “Devices are alternatives to surgical sterilization”
“About 700,000 tubal ligations and 600,000 vasectomies are done
annually in the United States.”
