Laparoscopic Tubal Ligation
Laparoscopic tubal ligation is a safe and effective surgical method for permanent contraception. It involves blocking or sealing the fallopian tubes so that eggs can't reach the uterus for fertilization.
In Siliguri, Dr. Vinayak Das offers this procedure using minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques - allowing for a quick, scar-minimized recovery and complete peace of mind.
