Normal Anatomy:
Anatomy:
• Length- 10-14cm• Diameter- 2-6mm• Lat-Med- Infundibulum with fimbriae, Ampullary,
Isthmus, interstitial.• Blood Supply-Br. of uterine and ovarian artery• Nerve Supply-Sympathetic and Parasym. T11-12 & L1• Lymphatic drainage- iliac & lateral aortic nodes
Fallopian tube :
• Interstitial-narrowest 1mm• Ampulla
– longest and widest– Fertilization
• Junction of ampulla & isthmus • Histology 3layers
– Serosa primarily visceral peritoneum– Sub-serosa – Muscularis– Mucosa 3different cell types
Physiological function:
• Ovum pick-up• Capacitation of spermatozoa• Acrosomal reaction • Facilitation of fertilization• Transfer of zygote to uterus for implantation
Human Ovum :
Human Spermatozoa :
Fertilizatin :
Case Selection(Self-declaration by the client will be the basis for compiling this information.)
• Patients should be married.• Female Patients age ˂ 49 years and ˃ 22 years.• The couple should have at least one child whose age
is above one year.• Patients or their spouses/partners must not have
undergone sterilization in the past.• Patients must be in a sound state of mind.• Mentally ill clients must be certified.
Counselling:
• Patients must be informed of – all the available methods of family planning – made aware that this operation is a permanent one.
• Clients must make an informed decision for sterilization voluntarily.
• Patients counseled in their language.• Patients should be informed about the surgery
and its complications.
Features of Female Sterilization:
• Permanent procedure.
• Surgical complications &failures &further management.
• No effect on couple life.
• No effect daily activity.
• No protection to STD or HIV.
• Reversal possible but a major surgery and less success rate.

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:
Tubectomy
Abdominal
ConventionalP
omeroy’s
Uchida’s
Irving’s
Madlener
Kroener
Oxford
Aldridge
Minilaparoto
myLaparoscopy
Vaginal
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.
UchidaIsthmus 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 CO2
• 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
1. 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
– Benefits• Permanence• Effectiveness• Lack of significant long-term side effects• No need to buy contraception, interrupt sex for
contraception or seek partner compliance• No incision• Convenience — the Essure system can be
implanted at your health care provider's office• No effect on your menstrual cycle
– Discourage if• Are sensitive to nickel or allergic to the contrast
agent used to confirm tubal blockage• Have a uterine or tubal condition that prevents
access to one or both tubal openings• Might want to become pregnant• Previously had a tubal ligation• Recently gave birth or had an abortion• Recently had a pelvic infection
– 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.
