The most commonly performed technique of female sterilization during minilaparotomy in India involves tying a loop of the fallopian tube and excising its apex. This technique is known as:

• A Irving method
• B Pomeroy method ✓
• C Uchida method
• D Madlener method

Explanation

The Pomeroy method uses an absorbable suture to tie a loop of tube; the loop is excised and the suture absorbs, leaving blunt separated ends. It is simple, quick, and the standard method in Indian camp-based minilaparotomy. The Madlener method uses non-absorbable material without excision and has higher failure rates, while Irving and Uchida bury the cut ends and are more elaborate procedures rarely used in camps.
