Lapascopic Tubectomy
Steps Involved in IVF:
Procedure Description
Laparoscopic tubectomy, a minimally invasive surgical procedure, is widely recognized as an effective form of permanent contraception for women. In this procedure, the fallopian tubes are closed or removed to prevent the possibility of future pregnancies. Unlike traditional open tubal ligation, laparoscopic tubectomy uses tiny incisions, through which a camera (laparoscope) and surgical instruments are inserted to perform the operation. This approach reduces recovery time, minimizes scarring, and generally leads to fewer complications compared to open surgery.
The laparoscope, equipped with a high-definition camera, allows the surgeon to view the reproductive organs in detail on a screen. Through small incisions, the surgeon can access the fallopian tubes and, using specialized tools, can either block, seal, or remove sections of the tubes to prevent eggs from traveling to the uterus. The entire process usually takes less than an hour under general anesthesia, making it a relatively short outpatient procedure for patients.
Laparoscopic tubectomy is often chosen for its high success rate and minimal physical impact, making it a preferred option for women seeking a reliable and permanent form of birth control. This procedure is considered irreversible and is typically recommended for women who are certain they do not wish to have more children. However, as with any surgery, thorough medical consultation and a careful evaluation of personal circumstances are essential for anyone considering this form of contraception.
Procedure Duration
The laparoscopic tubectomy is generally a short procedure, often completed within 30-60 minutes. This duration includes the preparation phase, the actual surgery, and immediate post-operative monitoring. During the initial phase, the patient undergoes anesthesia administration and is prepped with antiseptic solutions to reduce the risk of infection. Once the anesthesia takes effect, the surgeon makes a few tiny incisions in the abdomen, typically near the navel, to introduce the laparoscope and surgical instruments.
The actual procedure time can vary depending on the individual’s anatomy and any previous abdominal surgeries or scarring, which may make accessing the fallopian tubes more complex. However, most surgeons complete the tubectomy itself within 15 to 30 minutes. After ensuring the fallopian tubes have been properly closed or removed, the instruments are withdrawn, and the small incisions are sutured.
Recovery from laparoscopic tubectomy is relatively fast. Most patients are discharged within a few hours post-surgery, provided they exhibit no signs of complications. However, full recovery, including the resumption of all daily activities, typically takes one to two weeks. Minor soreness and bruising around the incision sites are normal and should subside within a few days. Following post-operative care instructions can significantly speed up recovery and minimize discomfort.
Benefits
- Minimally Invasive: Laparoscopic tubectomy involves only small incisions, reducing physical trauma and enhancing recovery speed.
- Quick Recovery: Patients generally experience shorter recovery times, with most returning to daily activities within one to two weeks.
- High Effectiveness: This procedure provides a permanent form of contraception with a high success rate in preventing future pregnancies.
- Minimal Scarring: Since the procedure involves only small incisions, it typically leaves minimal scarring, making it a more discreet option.
- Reduced Risk of Complications: Compared to traditional open surgery, laparoscopic tubectomy has a lower risk of infections and post-surgical complications.

Risks & Considerations
- Anesthesia Risks: General anesthesia, while safe, carries risks such as allergic reactions and respiratory complications. A detailed pre-surgical assessment is essential to mitigate these risks.
- Infection at Incision Site: Although rare, infections can occur at the incision sites, particularly if post-operative care instructions are not followed diligently.
- Internal Bleeding or Hematoma: In rare cases, internal bleeding or hematomas can form, necessitating additional medical intervention. Surgeons take extra care to minimize this risk.
- Pelvic Pain or Discomfort: Some women experience ongoing pelvic pain or discomfort following the procedure, which may require follow-up treatment.
- Irreversibility of Procedure: Laparoscopic tubectomy is a permanent method of contraception, and although reversal is possible in some cases, it is not always successful. Patients should be certain about their decision before proceeding.
How to Choose the Right Doctor and Hospital
Selecting a qualified doctor and hospital is crucial for a successful laparoscopic tubectomy experience. Look for a surgeon with extensive experience in laparoscopic gynecological procedures, as this expertise can significantly affect the procedure’s success and minimize potential risks. A qualified surgeon should be board-certified in gynecology and have a record of successful outcomes in minimally invasive surgeries.
When considering a hospital, prioritize facilities with modern laparoscopic equipment and a reputation for excellence in patient care and safety. Researching hospital accreditation and reviews from previous patients can provide valuable insights into the quality of care and services offered.

Frequently Asked Questions
What actually happens during hyperstimulation of the ovaries?
The patient will take injectable FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) for eight to eleven days, depending on how long the follicles take to mature. This hormone is produced naturally in a woman’s body causing one egg to develop per cycle. Taking the injectable FSH causes several follicles to develop at once, at approximately the same rate. The development is monitored with vaginal ultrasounds and following the patient’s levels of estradiol and progesterone. FSH brand names include Repronex, Follistim, Menopur, Gonal-F and Bravelle. The patient injects herself daily.
What happens during egg retrieval?
When the follicles have developed enough to be harvested, the patient attends an appointment where she is anesthetized and prepared for the procedure. Next, the doctor uses an ultrasound probe to guide a needle through the vaginal wall and into the follicle of the ovary. The thin needle draws the follicle fluid, which is then examined by an embryologist to find the eggs. The whole process takes about 20 minutes.
What happens to the eggs?
In the next step, the harvested eggs are then fertilized. If the sperm from the potential father, or in some cases, anonymous donor, has normal functionality, the eggs and sperm are placed together in a dish with a nutrient fluid, then incubated overnight to fertilize normally. If the sperm functionality is suboptimal, an embryologist uses Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection to inject a single sperm into a single egg with an extremely precise glass needle. Once fertilization is complete, the embryos are assessed and prepared to be transferred to the patient’s uterus.
How are the embryos transferred back to the uterus?
The doctor and the patient will discuss the number of embryos to be transferred. The number of successfully fertilized eggs usually determines the number of eggs to be placed in the uterus. Embryos are transferred to the uterus with transabdominal ultrasound guidance. This process does not require anesthesia, but it can cause minor cervical or uterine discomfort. Following transfer, the patient is advised to take at least one days bed rest and two or three additional days of rest, then 10 to 12 days later, two pregnancy tests are scheduled to confirm success. Once two positive tests are completed, an obstetrical ultrasound is ordered to show the sac, fetal pole, yolk sac and fetal heart rate.
Embryoscope©
Built into this technology there is a microscope with a powerful camera that allows the uninterrupted monitoring of the embryo during its first hours of life. In this way, we can keep a close eye on the embryo, from the moment when the oocyte is inseminated and begins to divide into smaller and smaller cells, until it can be transferred to the uterus.
