Between 1974-1975, 21 approved sterilizations were performed by means of laparoscopic electrocoagulation of the ovarian tubes. It is recommended for being time minimizing, its 2-day hospitalization, the fact that it allows one to return to work quickly, and its high reliability. The uterine tubes are always coagulated at 2 points without cross sectioning. The process lasts 15-20 seconds and utilizes 40-50 watts of current. No failure was encountered in these 21 cases. 1 case of bilateral adnexitis occurred 10 days after the operation. Contraindications to this type of operation are the same as with normal gynecological laparoscopy.
