Abstract :

Laparoscopic sterilization by double puncture method without vaginal manipulation under local anaesthesia is a highly economical doorstep approach to family planning using the latest technological advances in minimal access surgery. The authors take privilege in being the pioneers of introducing this technique in the state of Kerala in May 1983. This procedure was later utilized in camps conducted in Karnataka, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu between 1983 to 2015. The advantage with this technique is that it is a highly economical approach since office tables are used as operating tables and the procedure does not require any kind of general or spinal anaesthesia and the patient can go back home on the same day about 4-6 hours post procedure. So far more than one lac patients have been benefitted through this procedure in over 10,000 camps
