Abstract:
:Tubal occlusion through a culdotomy incision offers a method of surgical sterilization acceptable to women in some countries where abdominal sterilization is not acceptable. This technic requires skilled gynecologic surgeons, who are a limited resource in many developing countries. On the other hand, gynecologic surgeons practicing in outlying areas may find it more feasible to perform colpotomy sterilizations than laparoscopic sterilizations with the latter's requirements for specialized instrumentation and additional training. With adequate attention to operator training, patient selection, evaluation of patients for postoperative complications and appropriate care of those with such complications, culdotomy should be included among the various approaches appropriate for female sterilization.
