| Abstract: | This report presents 155 cases of laparoscopic electrocoagulation of the fallopian tubes. 53 coagulations were performed with unipolar devices, 102 ones with bipolar technique.--The patency of tubal obliteration was tested 12 weeks after the operation hysterosalpingographically.--In 4 cases the contrast medium was forced through the obliterated part of the fallopian tube, but controlled a half year later the tubes are completely closed. Hysterosalpingographic studies are not suited to criticize the reliability of laparoscopic sterilization. Severe operative and early postoperative complications were not to be seen.--The laparoscopic bipolar coagulation of the fallopian tubes is a method without the high of electric accidents. There is a great efficacy in producing sterility. |
