    A new single-puncture laparoscopic sterilization technique avoids vaginal manipulation, increasing acceptability for rural Indian women. This method is suitable for mass sterilization but requires experienced surgeons due to increased bowel injury risks.

    Area of Science:

    • Minimally Invasive Surgery
    • Gynecology
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Traditional laparoscopic sterilization requires vaginal manipulation, which is culturally unacceptable for some populations.
    • Rural Indian women often express discomfort with procedures involving genital exposure.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate a single-puncture laparoscopic sterilization technique.
    • To offer an alternative to traditional methods that respects cultural sensitivities.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a novel single-puncture laparoscopic approach using Falope-Rings.
    • Elimination of the need for a uterine manipulator, thus avoiding vaginal insertion.
    • Surgical procedure performed through a single umbilical incision.

    Main Results:

    • Successful implementation in 16,803 cases.
    • Demonstrated increased patient acceptability and procedure popularity.
    • Eliminated risks associated with vaginal manipulation.

    Conclusions:

    • The single-puncture technique is a viable and acceptable alternative for laparoscopic sterilization, particularly for mass procedures.
    • Surgeons must be aware of the increased risk of bowel injury and the need for expertise.
