The abdominal cavity to create enough space to execute
Laparoscopic tube reversal is a less invasive surgical operation (laparoscopy), using small, specialized surgical instruments to repair and reconnect the fallopian tubes.After general anesthesia has been administered, a 10mm tubeknown as trocar is inserted just at the posterior edge of the navel, and a gas is pumped into the abdominal cavity to create enough space to execute the operation safely and precisely. The laparoscope, connected to a camera, is inserted into the abdomen by means the same tube, and the abdomen/pelvis is fully scrutinized. The tubal ligation reversal are observed and the obstruction is examined. Three surgical instruments are used to remove the obstruction and prepare the two segments of the tube to be connected again.
