Abstract:
:Laparoscopic female sterilization is widely practiced and is very safe. However, mesosalpingeal tears and mesosalpingeal haematomas are common complications especially when performed by an inexperienced surgeon. It was found that the observation of a simple 'prong sign' could prevent these complications and possibly reduce failure rates.
