The procedure is performed after administering anesthesia on the patient.
As female sterilization is a permanent pregnancy prevention method, it is not recommended for patients who may want to get pregnant in the future. The doctors will then perform laparoscopic tubal ligation by first creating a couple of tiny incisions or cuts in the abdominal area. Then, a tube is inserted into the abdominal cavity through one of these incisions and carbon dioxide is pumped into it. This is to allow the surgeons to see the internal organs properly.
The surgeon will then insert a laparoscope, a thin flexible tube with a camera at one end, into the incision near the navel.
