laparoscopic sterilization

laparoscopic sterilization
sterilization of a female using an endoscope to visualize the fallopian tubes and surrounding structures; the endoscope is guided into the abdominal cavity through a small puncture made by a trocar inserted immediately below the umbilicus. A second small puncture is made in the lower abdomen so that cautery forceps can be inserted for electrocoagulation and severing of the tubes.
