This paper deals with Laparoscopic Sterilization Programme in Karnataka. This paper analyses the trends, characteristics of acceptors, people's perception and complication with regard to Laparoscopy. About 149 laparoscopic tubectomy acceptors were interviewed to know their perceptions and complications.
