Laparoscopic Sterilization :
Laparoscopic sterilization, also called as bilateral tubal ligation, refers to a contraceptive method to prevent pregnancy and achieve permanent birth control. Laparoscopic sterilization procedure involves preventing the eggs from being fertilized by sperm, by cutting, tying, and blocking the fallopian tubes and sealing them off, thus preventing pregnancy. During this surgery, two small incisions are made and a laparoscope is inserted to look at the fallopian tube, and then a surgical instrument is used to seal the tubes with a ring, band or clip. Laparoscopic sterilization is a minimally invasive procedure, and hence, smaller incisions are made, thus reducing the recovery time. The complications of laparoscopic sterilization include pain in the abdomen, nausea, sore throat, shoulder pain, tiredness, dizziness and bloating. Laparoscopic sterilization is a highly convenient, highly effective, non-hormonal form of birth control, and also reduces the risk of cancer.
