Abstract
Laparoscopic sterilization with a bipolar electrode was performed in 62 patients. The sterilization failed in one patient and was questionable in another. The effectiveness was assessed by hysterosalpingography (HSG) in 51 patients. No complications due to laparoscopy occurred. The method is considered to be advantageous because of the low risk of complications. The effectiveness of the method seems to be acceptable.
