Bacteriology of postpartum oviducts and endometrium.

Abstract:

:The risk of infection from puerperal tubal ligation is studied 1, 2, 3, and 5 days postpartum. Aliquots of 52 oviduct homogenates and 26 endometrial saline aspirates were cultured in serum. PPLO, tryptic soy, and thioglycolate broth, and blood, PPLO, and chocolate agar. A Brown and Brenn Gram stain was run on oviduct sections. Results indicated that, except for contamination with airborne Staphylococcus epidermidis, 1 oviduct harbored S. epidermidis, and 1 endometrium yielded Streptococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus epidermidis. Fever occurred only in 2 other patients whose cultures were sterile; one had bronchial pneumonia and the other had positive transcervical lochial culture. No histologies were positive, and no fastidious organisms, L-forms, or fungi were cultured. The widely held view that tubal sterilization is unwise 48 hours after delivery because of infection is therefore opposed.
