A salpingectomy is very different than a tubal ligation, and is not considered "birth control" as I'm sure you know. It sounds like part of the whole ignorance of not knowing what is birth control and what is a nessisary surgical procedure for "lady parts" So he simply doesn't know women's anatomy. Not surprising.
Wait--I take that back-- he didn't know the difference between a tubal ligation and a salpingectomy?, seriously? And then proceeded to lecture you on surgical procedures?
For the edification of da stalkers:
Salpingectomy is the surgical removal of a fallopian tube. Salpingectomy is different from salpingostomy (also called neosalpingostomy). Salpingostomy is the creation of an opening into the fallopian tube, but the tube itself is not removed in this procedure.
The term fimbrioplasty is often used instead of salpingostomy (ie, simply opening the fallopian tube) because salpingostomy does not address the important role of the fimbriae. Reconstruction that preserves the delicate fimbriae is important for fertility outcomes. The purpose of fimbrioplasty is to open the obstructed fallopian tube and salvage enough function of the fimbriae to allow successful entrapment and transportation of the oocyte.

Which types of birth control are free?
Birth control methods that are covered by this requirement of the Affordable Care Act include any that are approved by the FDA:
Birth control patch
Birth control pills
Birth control ring (NuvaRing)
Birth control shot (Depo-Provera)
Cervical cap
Contraceptive implant
Diaphragm
IUD
Permanent contraception methods, such as tubal ligation, often called "getting your tubes tied"
Emergency contraception (Plan B, Ella, and Next Choice)
Your plan may also cover over-the-counter birth control, but you will need a prescription from your doctor if you want it to be covered without out-of-pockets costs.
