Laparoscopic Tubal Ligation for Family Planning

Laparoscopic Tubal Ligation

Permanent Birth Control Surgery at Zenith Hospital, Nagpur

A laparoscopic tubal ligation (sterilization) is the most common and effective method of permanent birth control in women. It is a safe, minimally invasive surgery performed by Dr. Manasi Thakur at Zenith Hospital, Nagpur.

How is Laparoscopic Tubal Ligation Done?

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia.
A small incision (about 1 cm) is made near or below the belly button.
Carbon dioxide gas is introduced into the abdomen to create working space.
A laparoscope (a thin telescope with a camera and light) is inserted to visualize the abdominal cavity.
Additional small ports are used to insert instruments.
The fallopian tubes are blocked using rings, clamps, clips, or electrocautery (electric current).
After the procedure, the laparoscope is removed, gas is released, and the small incisions are closed.

👉 The procedure usually takes about 30 minutes and is performed as a daycare surgery. Patients are generally discharged on the same day.
