[Probability of requests for desterilization. Prospective study of 50 cases]

The reasons for 50 requests for reversal of tubal sterilisation were studied prospectively. Our results agree with those in the rest of the literature and show that within a population of women who have been sterilised there is a group who have "a strong likelihood to ask for reversal of sterilisation". These results make one think of the role of the doctor and can help by using scores that have been worked out previously to improve the indications for sterilisation in case legislation will be forthcoming.
