“…Although the setup was quite expensive, when the equipment was available, one could get a high percentage of satisfactory results in a large number of population (3,11). It is possible that the complications, although few, could become serious enough to frustrate the inexperienced operator (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7).…”
Five thousand cases of laparoscopic tubal electrocoagulation were performed for voluntary interval sterilization in outpatient Thai women from January 1974 through June 1978. Immediate complications occurring during surgery resulted from mesosalpingeal hemorrhage, which was successfully managed by omental packing with or without repeated electrocoagulation. The overall failure rate was 0.40%. The authors find this method of tubal electrocoagulation for fertility management to be reliable and safe as an outpatient procedure and to provide rapid convalescence.
