Which of the following female sterilization procedures involves the surgeon accessing the fallopian tubes by making a small cut near the belly button?

Correct option is C

Sol. Laparoscopy is a female sterilization procedure where a surgeon makes a small incision near the belly button to access and block or cut the fallopian tubes. This prevents eggs from traveling to the uterus, making pregnancy impossible. Laparoscopic sterilization is a minimally invasive procedure with a shorter recovery time compared to traditional open surgery.
Explanation of each option:
· (a) Orchidectomy – Incorrect. Orchidectomy is surgical removal of one or both testicles, primarily performed for testicular cancer or hormone suppression, not female sterilization.
· (b) Vasectomy – Incorrect. Vasectomy is a male sterilization procedure, where the vas deferens (sperm-carrying tubes) are cut or blocked to prevent sperm from reaching the semen.
· (c) Laparoscopy – Correct answer. Laparoscopic sterilization is a common and minimally invasive method for female sterilization, where small incisions allow the surgeon to access and block the fallopian tubes.
· (d) Testectomy – Incorrect. There is no such medical procedure as "testectomy" related to female sterilization.
