Puerperal weck clip sterilization: study II (second study of two consecutive studies).

S W Arnold, J C Morrison, S A Fish

    Fertility and Sterility
    |December 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    The Samuel's or modified Weck pistol-grip applicators demonstrate a low failure rate of 2.2% for puerperal inverted V clip applications. These devices offer reliable application with no mechanical issues reported, suggesting potential for reversibility.

    Area of Science:

    • Gynecology
    • Reproductive Medicine
    • Surgical Devices

    Background:

    • Postpartum sterilization is a common gynecological procedure.
    • The inverted V Weck clip is a device used for tubal occlusion.
    • Evaluating the efficacy and safety of application devices is crucial for patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the performance and failure rate of puerperal inverted V Weck clip applications.
    • To evaluate the reliability and mechanical function of the Samuel's and modified Weck pistol-grip applicators.
    • To explore the potential for reversibility and tubal patency after clip removal.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 45 puerperal inverted V Weck clip applications.
    • Utilized Samuel's or modified Weck pistol-grip applicators for clip placement.

  • Follow-up periods ranged from 9 to 36 months to determine failure rates and complications.

    • Main Results:

    • A low failure rate of 2.2% was observed across all applications.
    • No mechanical difficulties were reported with either the Samuel's or modified Weck pistol-grip applicator.
    • One case of reversibility and evidence of post-removal tubal patency were noted.

    Conclusions:

    • The Samuel's and modified Weck pistol-grip applicators are effective and reliable for puerperal inverted V clip applications.
    • These devices exhibit a low failure rate and good mechanical performance.
    • The findings suggest potential for successful reversal and restoration of tubal patency.
