    Female sterilization is safe in developing countries, with a low mortality rate of 5.86/100,000 procedures. Avoiding general anesthesia and using techniques like minilaparotomy can further reduce risks.

    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Gynecology
    • Surgical Safety

    Background:

    • Female sterilization is a common contraceptive method globally.
    • Assessing the safety of surgical procedures in developing countries is crucial for public health initiatives.
    • Data from 1973-1979 provides a historical perspective on sterilization safety.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the mortality risk associated with female sterilization procedures.
    • To identify causes of death and risk factors in developing countries.
    • To provide recommendations for improving surgical safety in sterilization.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of 255,812 female sterilization procedures performed between 1973 and 1979.
    • Review of reported sterilization-related deaths and their causes.

  • Comparison of mortality risks across different sterilization methods (culdoscopy, minilaparotomy, laparoscopy).

    • Main Results:

    • Fifteen sterilization-related deaths were reported, resulting in an overall mortality rate of 5.86 per 100,000 procedures.
    • Anesthetic complications were the leading cause of death, followed by infection.
    • Culdoscopy was associated with a higher risk of death compared to minilaparotomy and laparoscopy.

    Conclusions:

    • Low mortality rates are achievable in developing countries with experienced teams, adequate facilities, and strict medical standards.
    • Minilaparotomy and laparoscopy are safer procedures than culdoscopy.
    • Avoiding general and spinal anesthesia can significantly enhance patient safety during female sterilization.
