The author will use different gynecological teams, with different expertise to perform the laparoscopic tubal ligation, but using the same surgical and anesthesic technique. Second year residents, during their rotation, and medical staff will perform the surgery.

Anesthesic technique:

Intravenous remifentanil 0.1-0.5 micrograms/kg/min Intravenous Propofol target controlled or sevoflurane Intermittent ventilation using O2 40 - 100%, with or without compressed air. Before incision: 5mL of bupivacaine 0.5% or saline solution 0.9% from the aponeurosis until the skin In the end of the procedure: intravenous 4mg of dexamethasone + 40mg of tenoxican

Post-operation prescription:

NPO util well awake, then free according to patient´s tolerance If nausea/vomit: metoclopramide 10mg IV If pain: dipyrone 1g IV qid If pain is intense: morphine 3mg IV 3/3 h If pain persists: morphine 1mg h/h
