Abstract
Abstract: Tubal ligation surgery is the mainstay of sterilization method in India.Every year over 4 million female sterilization operations are conducted across our country. In rural areas, the local bodies usually organize camps in collaboration with Department of Family Welfare of the Government at regular intervals for such procedure.On 23 May 2017 at around 9:00 am, a 28 year old female is said to have suffered cardiac arrest on table during laparoscopic tubectomy in a camp organized by local bodies in the limits of Thuruvekere PS. She was brought dead to the Casualty, AIMS Hospital. The deceased was subjected to autopsy after receiving the inquest from police.However minor vascular injuries are named so, but these are by no means minor in nature.Medical litigations can be minimised by adopting safe methods of laparoscopic entry and maintaining vigilance for early identification of missed intraoperative injury. Keywords:Laporcopy, Tubal Ligation, air embolism, Sudden Death.
