What will happen during this surgery?

Keyhole surgery involves making two small incisions (cuts) – about 1 centimetre in length – in your abdomen. A camera is inserted through one of these incisions. The gynaecologist can see the Fallopian tubes on a screen via this camera. The gynaecologist uses the other incision to insert a device to tie the Fallopian tubes.

Clips are placed on the Fallopian tubes, or the Fallopian tubes are seared shut. The connection between the womb and the ovaries is blocked as a result. The sperm cell can now no longer reach the egg cell.
