Overview

abstract

  • STUDY OBJECTIVE: To show a new technique for bilateral salpingectomy using percutaneous minilaparoscopy. DESIGN: Step-by-step video demonstration and narration of the surgical procedure. SETTING: Minilaparoscopy was first described in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Since then, minilaparoscopic instruments have been successfully applied to several general surgery and gynecologic procedures, including hysterectomy. Potential benefits of minilaparoscopy compared with conventional laparoscopy include decreased tissue trauma, pain, and improved cosmesis. INTERVENTIONS: Percutaneous minilaparoscopic approach for bilateral salpingectomy. CONCLUSION: Percutaneous minilaparoscopy, in addition to conventional laparoscopy, is a feasible approach for bilateral salpingectomy.
