  • Title: [Tubular sterilization in the immediate postpartum period using local anesthesia and laparoscopy].
    Author: Merger C, Perdu M, Marchand F.
    Journal: J Gynecol Obstet Biol Reprod (Paris); 1995; 24(1):77-80. PubMed ID: 7730574.
    Abstract:
    Puerperal laparoscopic sterilization was performed in 732 women under anaesthesia at the Maternity of Noumea (New-Caledonia). There were no complications. Among the per-operative and postoperative incidents which occurred, there were 0.8% pregnancies, 3.6% bleeding of the broad ligament which was controlled during laparoscopy and 3% events (adhesion, pain) which required general anaesthesia. It was concluded that the described technique of puerperal laparoscopic sterilization is a safe, simple, rapid, inexpensive and reliable surgical technique in expert hands.
