| Fibroids1: What is the difference between your "tubes tied" and fallopian tubal occlusion? |
| Dr. John Lipman: The traditional surgical procedure of getting your tubes tied is done laproscopically, and they usually go through the naval and there are one or two other holes made in the abdomen, and the tubes are either clipped, or burned or ligated in some fashion. It’s a surgical procedure, it is less invasive than an open procedure, but it’s still surgical. It’s typically done in a surgical center under general anesthesia. The next generation is hysteroscopic placement of metallic inserts into each tube to close the tubes, which is also done under anesthesia. What we’re doing is even less invasive than that. We’re putting the inserts in through smaller catheters rather than through a hysteroscope and the benefit of entering through smaller catheters is that you don’t have to dilate the cervix and insert this big scope through the cervix. Instead, you’re putting in a tiny catheter that the patient doesn’t even feel. |
