ABSTRACT:
A method of endoscopic tubal ligation includes the steps of introducing a distal end of an instrument assembly at an internal operative site through a small size port, visualizing the internal operative site with an endoscope from externally of the internal operative site, grasping an anatomical tubular structure at the internal operative site with a grasping member of the instrument assembly and drawing the anatomical tubular structure into a loop formation and contracting a ligature loop of filamentous ligature material of the instrument assembly around the loop formation to form a ligature without withdrawing the instrument assembly from the internal operative site.
