Laparoscopic tubal ligation is a surgery to block the fallopian tubes for preventing pregnancy. The whole procedure is minimally invasive, done with small incisions and a thin tube called a laparoscope. This is one of the permanent ways of sterilization.
It is one of the most effective ways of birth control. The surgery can be an outpatient procedure and can be conducted in a breastfeeding woman.
The procedure takes place without even any kind of hospital stay. The laparoscope is used with a camera and a light on the patient. The doctor makes 2 to 4 small incisions in the abdomen and inserts the scope through one of those incisions. Live images from the scope are directly viewed by the doctor on a live monitor. Surgical tools are put inside using the other incisions in the abdomen. Doctors can then skillfully use these tools and the images to block the fallopian tubes. The tubes may be cauterized or closed off using clips or rings. They can also be tied off and cut which is the most effective way of sterilisation.
The problems with tubal sterilization are rare because of the nature of the procedure. Laparoscopic tubal ligation can also be safely conducted on women who are breastfeeding. Skilled doctors know exactly how much anesthesia is to be provided to the mother so that there are no traces of it in the mother’s milk. The surgery is conducted around the uterus and therefore does not involve any kind of biological disruption in breastfeeding. The only issue might be a disruption in the timing of breastfeeding for the child as the patient will be in the operation theatre for a few hours.
The safeness of the procedure makes it an ideal choice for permanent control of birth. Patients should consider skilled local gynecologists who can complete the procedures easily. Dr. Deborjyoti Pal is a renowned laparoscopic surgeon in North Kolkata. Patients can contact him directly or visit one of his many chambers for the procedure without any complications.
