Falope Ring tubal ligation

By minilaparotomy or through the laparpscope, Falope Ring sterilization is accomplished by applying silicone rubber bands to the Fallopian tubes. The applicator and its use are described and 383 cases without any major complication are reported. The major advantage is elimination of thermocoagulation. The occlusion is complete in a short segment and offers theoretical possibilities of tubal reconstruction.
