Definition
结扎 is a medical term for ligation — tying off a blood vessel or tube — and is most commonly used in reference to sterilization procedures (tubal ligation or vasectomy). It can also mean 'to tie up' in a general sense, but this usage is rare in modern Chinese. Note: the standard pronunciation is jié zā, not jiē; the pinyin field here appears to be truncated or erroneous.
