Laparoscopic Surgery for Family Planning

About Sterilization

Sterilization is a very effective way to prevent pregnancy. Nearly 1 of every 4 women relies on sterilization for birth control. In tubal sterilization, both the fallopian tubes are tied off or sealed, or clipped so that the egg can’t travel inside the uterus to meet the sperm. Similarly, the sperm won’t be able to reach the egg and prevent pregnancy.

The surgery does not affect a partner’s ability to have sex or enjoy sex. It only prevents pregnancy. Many couples say that their sexual capability improves after sterilization because they do not need other contraceptive methods.

Tubal Sterilization

Tubal Sterilization surgery is done to prevent the woman from getting impregnated. It is a permanent contraception method. This procedure is also performed through the laparoscopy technique. Laparoscopy involves the use of a small telescope known as a laparoscope to analyze the pelvic organs and identify the fallopian tubes to be tied off or sealed or cut.

Laparoscopy is done as an outpatient procedure as the patient can go home the same day. The patient will be given general anesthesia to make it pain-free under the guidance of a qualified Ob-Gyn expert.

• A small incision around 1/2 inches long is made near the navel.
• The gas (possibly CO2) is passed inside the abdomen to inflate to an extent.
• The Laparoscope is then inserted inside the abdomen via the incision to see the pelvic organs. Then, another smaller device is inserted for the movement and holding the tubes.
• Then, the fallopian tubes are tied off or cut or clipped or sealed.
