    Abstract:
    372 women, 23-47 years of age, average III-para and IV gravida, underwent laparoscopic sterilization with a one incision technique and unipolar electrocoagulation. 311 women submitted a completed questionnaire on the complications of the operation 1-6 years afterward. Laparotomy was necessary in 7 cases (1.9%) due to uterine perforation, bleeding, and other immediate postoperative disorders. 1.1% of the women became pregnant, 2 intrauterine, 2 ectopic pregnancies. 21% reported bleeding, pain, and fever during the first month after the operation. 10% reported sexual problems after the operation, while 88% of those who had had sexual problems before the operation reported an improvement. 5% regretted that they had undergone sterilization.
