    Area of Science:

    • Gynecology
    • Minimally Invasive Surgery
    • Reproductive Health

    Background:

    • Laparoscopic sterilization is a common method for permanent contraception.
    • The Falope-ring technique is one such method, requiring evaluation for efficacy and safety.
    • Electrocautery is a common alternative sterilization method.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Falope-ring technique for laparoscopic sterilization.
    • To compare complication rates with alternative methods.

    Main Methods:

    • 116 women underwent laparoscopic sterilization using the Falope-ring technique.
    • Follow-up averaged 20.8 months.
    • Hysterosalpingography was performed on 80 patients for control.

    Main Results:

    • No pregnancies occurred during the observation period.
    • The most common peroperative complications were bleeding (4.4%) and tubal transection (3.5%).
    • Unilateral leakage was observed in 6 patients, with 5 requiring re-sterilization.

    Conclusions:

    • The Falope-ring technique is an effective and safe method for laparoscopic sterilization.
    • It demonstrates a low complication and failure rate when performed correctly.
    • It is a recommended alternative to electrocautery sterilization.
