Abstract
An evaluation was made of 268 patients undergoing elective sterilization with respect to the ensuing development of menorrhagia, pelvic pain, and the need for gynecologic surgery. Preoperative and follow-up postoperative questionnaires of patients undergoing laparoscopic sterilization were compared, and additional data were drawn from clinical records and operative reports to substantiate real changes. A study of the cases puts the incidence of menorrhagia at 6%, pelvic pain at 6%, and necessary subsequent gynecologic surgery at 4%.
