Women often prefer taking various birth control measures to avoid unwanted pregnancies. Sterilization by laparoscopy is the ultimate solution to achieve this goal. Laparoscopic sterilization is a medical procedure that offers permanent birth control to women. In this surgery, the fallopian tubes are removed or extracted from their original position, thus preventing future pregnancies. Sterilization by laparoscopy has a short recovery period.
The fallopian tubes seen on either side of the uterus extend towards the ovaries. Under normal circumstances, they receive eggs directly from the ovaries and transport them to the uterus. In this surgical process, the fallopian tubes are opened and removed or closed with a clip sealing so that the man’s sperm cannot reach the egg. This laparoscopic surgery helps the physician complete the tubal removal or tubal ligation by making a minute incision near the naval area. This minimally invasive surgery has benefits such as lesser recovery time and a lower risk of complications. In most cases, a woman can leave the hospital or the surgery facility within 3 to 4 hours after the laparoscopic surgery.
Laparoscopic sterilization is an outpatient procedure that may be performed in the postpartum period, during uterine evacuation for a quick abortion, while terminating a pregnancy, or as an interval or gap procedure. Since this is a crucial decision in a woman’s life, it is very important for her to be in good physical and mental health during this time.
Patients should also be well-informed about every aspect of this medical procedure, including the benefits and risks. Although this is one of the most convenient and safest forms of contraception, it is very important for women to carefully consider the consequences of this decision as it will result in the permanent loss of fertility.
