Abstract:
In 1979, the Centers for Disease Control began epidemiologic surveillance of deaths associated with tubal sterilization as part of an effort to assess the mortality risks associated with different methods of fertility control. The surveillance system identified nine deaths following laparoscopic sterilization in the United States from 1977 through 1979. The causes of these deaths and how some of them might have been averted are discussed.
