As many as 75 women have undergone laparoscopic sterilisation in three camps at government health facilities in Dakshina Kannada this year since the resumption of service on July 26. This procedure was not taken up early this year because of the second wave of COVID-19. In the camp held at the Government Hospital in Belthangady on Saturday, a total of 26 women underwent the procedure. As many as 27 women underwent the procedure at the Government Lady Goschen Hospital here on July 27. On July 26, 12 women underwent the procedure in the government health facility in Kadaba. Laparoscopic sterilisation is one among the two accepted methods of contraception for women in the country. This involves inserting a long thin tube with a lens into the abdomen through a small incision. This laparoscope enables the doctor to see and block or cut the fallopian tubes in the abdomen.
