Comparison of these studies indicates great variability in reporting of data because the meaning of terms and complications and the criteria by which they were determined have not been standardized.…”

The current status of male and female sterilization is defined. Current techniques involved in the surgical occlusion of the vasa deferentia and the fallopian tubes are explored. These techniques are evaluated against criteria that include efficacy, reversibility and safety. Future developments in simpler surgical and non-surgical techniques as well as in safer chemical or physical occlusive agents are more fully elaborated.

“…It reached its zenith about 20 years ago and achieved a moderate popularity (1). In a number of centres in the U.S.A. it became the most commonly performed interval procedure (2). With the methods of tubal interruption available at the time, it was technically more difficult to perform than sterilization via the abdominal wail.…”

Over the last 15 years female sterilization by the vaginal route has been abandoned in favour of the abdominal approach via a laparoscope or a suprapubic incision. This was justified when the vaginal route was used for a fimbriectomy or a Pomeroy type of sterilization. The use of tubal occlusion methods designed for the laparoscope has simplified the technique of vaginal sterilization and lowered the morbidity. Four hundred and ninety consecutive cases over an 18-year period are reviewed. Four hundred and eighty five were completed vaginally. The methods used were Pomeroy with catgut, Falope ring, Hulka and Filshie clips. The Filshie clip was the most satisfactory. Vaginal sterilization is suitable for day care. The readmission rate was 1%. There was no case of pelvic infection in 177 clip cases but 5 in 173 where the Pomeroy technique was used. The pregnancy rate was highest with the Hulka clip. The overall rate was 1%. With clip methods strong analgesics were only required in 6% postoperatively and only 14% took any analgesic after returning home; consequently return to normal activities was rapid. The patient's weight was not related to operative difficulty when clips were used so the vaginal route may prove to be the method of choice in the obese. Filshie clip sterilization via the posterior fornix of the vagina could be the most cost-effective method of sterilization available at present. The vaginal route needs reappraisal using contemporary methods of tubal occlusion.
