Abstract

Among patients seeking abortion are a group who request concurrent sterilization. This study compared three combinations of abortion and sterilization techniques. Suction termination with laparoscopic tubal ligation appears to be the combination of choice, for the mean hospital stay of patients undergoing this procedure was two days and the operative morbidity was 3.1%. For suction termination with tubal ligation at laparotomy, and hysterotomy with tubal ligation the mean hospital stays were 6 and 5.7 days respectively and the operative morbidity was four to five times greater.
