A prospective study of 116 inpatient and 289 outpatient culdoscopic tubal ligation sterilzations is presented. Visualization of the Fallopian tubes was hindered by bowel obstruction in 18 cases and by adhesions in 13 cases. The procedure could not be completed in 6 cases, 2 of which were due to anesthetic complications and 1 due to faulty technique. Postoperative complications involved 3 cases of salpingo-oophoritis. The operation is considered safe on an outpatient basis.
