Clinical Selection of a Case: Demographic information Medical History Physical examination Laboratory examination
Timing of Sterilization: Interval sterilization should be performed in the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle). Post-partum sterilization should be done after 24 hours up to 7 days of delivery. Sterilization with medical termination of pregnancy (MTP) can be performed concurrently. Sterilization following spontaneous abortion provided the client fulfils the medical eligibility criteria.
Pre-operative Care: Pre-medication Analgesia or Anaesthesia - Local Anaesthesia Anaesthesia of Choice. General Anestheisa rare but In case of a non-cooperative patient In case of excessive obesity In case of a history of allergy to local anaesthetic drugs Monitoring Pre-operatively Intra-operatively Post-operatively
Surgery: General Requirements Bladder empty Surgeon to identify both fallopian tube up to fimbria Occlusion should be 2-3cm from cornu & in isthmus Excision of 1cm of tube No crushing or use of cautery Incision closure by either absorbable or non- absorbale suture.
Surgical Techniques:
Pomeroy: Loop is made consisting major part of isthmus & ampulla Avascular mesosalphix needle 0 chr . Catgut is passed and tied firmly About 1-1.5cm of segment of loop distal to ligature is excised . About 1.5cm intact tube adjacent to uterus left. Specimen sent for histology.
Uchida Isthmus portion grasped and subserosa infiltrated and incised Muscular portion identified and divided Serosa dissected bluntly and exposed muscular portion ligated and resected Proximal portion buried in mesosalhinx and distal one kept open to peritoneal
Irving
Parkland
Points Modified pomeroy is most common method Uchida has least chance of failure among all Irving & Parkland method are rare in use Suture used is 1chromic catgut Absorbable suture used to prevent recananlization
Laparocopic Sterilization : Requirements Trendelenberg position ˃15˚ Uterine elevator used Pneumoperitoneum Insufflation with CO 2 Falope ring used. Other methods spring clip Hulka & Titanium clip After application abdomen should carefully inspected Expel gas before removing the port
Post-operative Care Post-operative BP, pulse & respiration/15min Patient can be discharged Stable for 4hours Passed urine, walk, drink & talk. Evaluated by doctor Patient accompanied by responsible adult Antibiotics, analgesics, etc provided or prescribed.
Electrocoagulation : Unipolar was first to be used Least chance of failure Causes most thermal injury to adjacent organs Bipolar is more safe but with higher ligation failure Central Govt. policy is no use of cautery
Complications : Nausea and vomiting Vasovagal attack Respiratory depression Cardiorespiratory arrest Uterine perforation Bleeding from mesosalpinx Injury to urinary bladder Injury to bowel or vessel Convulsion and toxic reaction to anaesthetic drugs
Post-operative Care: Wound sepsis Haematoma in the abdominal wall Intestinal obstruction, paralytic ileus and peritonitis Tetanus Incisional hernia
Conditions Unrelated to Ligations : Menstrual irregularities Scanty periods Menorrhagia Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease Psychological problems Sexual function
Hysteroscopic Ligation Essure : The Essure system is a type of permanent birth control for women. The Essure system includes two small metal and fiber coils that are placed in the fallopian tubes. They're inserted through the vagina, so no incision is required. 3months other contraceptive use is necessary HSG to be done to ensure the tubal block Does not prevent STI

Risks Infection Pelvic pain Perforation of the uterus or fallopian tubes Tubal blockage occurring on only one side No ablative surgery of uterus If client conceieves with essure then more chances of ectopic pregnancy.
