a hystorectomy they take out all your female organs, and when you get your tubes tied that just tie up the tubes so the eggs don't get out.

A hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus, usually done by a gynecologist. Hysterectomy may be total (removing the body and cervix of the uterus) or partial (also called supra-cervical). In many cases, surgical removal of the ovaries (oophorectomy) is performed concurrent with a hysterectomy. The surgery is then called "total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy" (sometimes abbreviated TAH-BSO). However, the term "hysterectomy" is often used colloquially yet incorrectly to refer to removal of any parts of the female reproductive system.
What is Tubal Ligation?
Tubal ligation, commonly knows as “getting your tubes tied,” is a surgical sterilization technique for women. This procedure closes the fallopian tubes, and stops the egg from traveling to the uterus from the ovary. It also prevents sperm from reaching the fallopian tube to fertilize an egg. In a tubal ligation, fallopian tubes are cut, burned, or blocked with rings, bands or clips. The surgery is effective immediately. Tubal ligations are 99.5% effective as birth control. They do not protect against sexually transmitted infections, including HIV/AIDS.

A hysterectomy removes parts of the female reproductive system, most notable the uterus and ovaries.
Having ones tubes tied refers to the fallopian tubes. The tubes generally now, and tied then cut so they will not re-attach.

A tubal ligation is tying of the tubes, while a hystorectomy is removal of the uterus.

Hysterectomy - female organs removed, ovaries etc....No more babies.
Tubes tied, exactly what it says, fallopian tubes are tied, can be reversed, sometimes successfully to have children later on.

A hysterectomy removes your whole uterus and maybe your ovaries.
