What happens during the procedure?
Tubal ligation is performed in three ways,
Laparoscopic tubal ligation
The laparoscopic procedure involves two small incisions, one in the navel and one above the pubic bone. General anesthesia is given to prevent pain during surgery. A laparoscope is passed through the navel to view the organs and surgical instruments are inserted through the second incision. The fallopian tubes are located and sealed with a ring, band, or clip. After sealing the fallopian tubes, the surgeon uses dissolvable stitches to close the incisions. The procedure has reduced recovery time and risk of complications.
Laparotomy
Laparotomy is an extensive surgery where large incisions are made in your abdomen during the surgery. The surgeon will cut and seal off the fallopian tubes using rings, bands, or clamps. Finally, the abdomen is closed with stitches. It requires a lengthy recovery period of up to several weeks.
Mini-laparotomy tubal ligation
Mini laparotomy uses a small incision and is performed within 24 hours of vaginal childbirth. After delivery, the surgeon locates the fallopian tubes and closes them using a special thread. The surgeon uses rings, bands, or clamps if it isn’t related to childbirth. The incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures.
What to expect after tubal ligation?
The recovery depends on the type of tubal ligation surgery. Laparoscopic tubal ligation requires significantly less recovery time. For mini-laparotomy or laparotomy, you may have to stay in the hospital overnight. If you undergo tubal ligation after childbirth, you have a planned hospital stay.
You will have pain or tenderness, and the doctor will prescribe medicines for pain relief. You can resume regular activities after 3 days but avoid weightlifting for at least 3 weeks.
