Abstract
Laparoscopic tubal sterilization with fulguration and resection under local anesthesia in combination with neuroleptanalgesic agents was carried out in 210 patients as an outpatient procedure. The period under study was 16 months. The majority were done on considered request. Average age of the patients was 30.6 years; average parity, 3.8. The operative time averaged 15.5 minutes. There were 2 major complications from hemorrhage requiring laparotomy and 4 minor complications were recorded. The cost per patient of this procedure averaged fifteen dollars. No failure has been recorded within 15 months of follow-up. It is concluded that this procedure can be as simple as vasectomy. © 1973.
