Abstract
A preliminary report is given on a new laparoscopic sterilization procedure. By a double-puncture method, a loop of tube is brought out of the abdomen through the suprapubic incision. The loop is then resected by a modified Pomeroy method. Between Octorber 1976 and June 1978, 75 sterilizations were performed without any major problem. Sterilization failed in one case when one tube could not be seen. All recoveries were uneventful. Safety, effectiveness, simplicity, and potential reversibility seem to be the qualities of this method.
