A ligation procedure is generally a ligation of the fallopian tubes. The cost of tubal ligation surgery may vary depending on the type of anesthesia, including the way the surgery is performed. For example, laparoscopic bilateral tubal ligation may cost between 8,000 and 10,000. Because it is minimally invasive, the cost may be higher than others, because the cost of minimally invasive examination may cost around 1000 yuan, including some consumables used, including the cost of anesthesia, the direct cost may add up to between 4000-5000. Because of a series of pre- and post-operative anti-inflammatory and check-ups, these costs may add up to between 3,000-4,000, because the cost may vary from region to region. For example, for open bilateral tubal ligation surgery, the cost may not be as high as laparoscopy, which may cost between 5000-8000, because the anesthesia is local and may cost around 700 yuan. The cost of bilateral tubal ligation may be lower and may cost between 300-400, including pre- and post-operative anti-inflammatory, including intra-operative consumables, which may cost around 5,000 yuan. Because open bilateral tubal ligation is more damaging, it is usually clinically recommended that laparoscopic bilateral tubal ligation can be performed.
