Mini Laparotomy Procedure
A mini-laparotomy is a surgical procedure to permanently prevent a woman from being able to get pregnant. This is a minimally invasive alternative to a traditional full laparotomy, as it requires smaller incisions and a shorter recovery time. This procedure is most commonly used for postpartum sterilization, which is an effective form of birth control that is 99% successful. This procedure is often performed after childbirth, but it can also be performed individually. If you are considering undergoing a mini-laparotomy, it is important to consult your doctor to determine the safest, optimal approach for you.
When is This Procedure Necessary?
A mini-laparotomy procedure is most commonly performed on women after they give birth. This is because the uterus and umbilical area are easier to access after birth, allowing for this surgery to be less invasive than the typical approach. Women who do not plan to get pregnant again after pregnancy may consider this procedure.

What To Expect
During a mini-laparotomy, patients are under general or local anesthesia to ensure their comfort. The surgeon will make a small incision below the umbilicus to access the fallopian tubes. Next, the surgeon will cut some of the tubes to prevent them from functioning. Lastly, the surgeon will place the tubes back in their original location before closing the incision. This procedure can vary depending on the overall goal. Since this procedure is typically performed postpartum, there are many steps to recovery. It is important to consult your doctor to discuss the steps patients should take.
