|January 1, 1986
Abstract:
Data on 211 consecutive laparoscopic sterilized women were compared. Half the patients were sterilized using unipolar electrocoagulation and the rest had tubal rings. The period of observation was 21-50 months, median 36.5 months. Four failures were observed, median 15 months after the operation. Pregnancy rates were 0.32 per 100 woman years using electrocoagulation and 1.02 using tubal rings. A total of 11% had experienced low abdominal pain and 4% dyspareunia. Menstrual pattern changes were reported by 31% in the electrocoagulation group and 43% in the tubal ring group. The rates of late sequelae were statistically significant independent of the technique employed.
