[Laparoscopic tubal sterilisation using Yoon's rings. The technique and psychological effects]

So long as certain contra-indications are observed it had been found that the application of Yoon's rings in the isthmial region of the fallopian tube is an efficient way of sterilising women. It is easy and devoid of major operative or post-operative complications. The authors report 245 cases that were treated in a University Hospital Centre. This technique had been particularly well received from the psychological aspect, as has been shown by an enquiry that we conducted between 6 and 48 months after the procedure in patients in this study.
