Culdoscopic sterilization may fill the need for a method which allows a quick turnover of patients. A. J. Gutierrez-Najar of Mexico recently ran a 2-week program on culdoscopic tubal clipping in Calcutta. The women who underwent the operation did so in the "interval period" 6 weeks after a childbirth or abortion, preferably within a week after a mens. In comparing data on 386 cases of abdominal postpartum tubectomy with 117 cases of culdoscopic tubal clipping, it was found that in the abdominal postpartum tubectomy group, the average hospital stay was 9.5 days, a general anesthesia was used, the morbidity was 10%, skill involved 1 year of obstetric and gynecological training, and ordinary instruments are used. In the culdoscopic tubal clipping group, the average stay was 42 hours, an analgesia was used, the morbidity was 1%, skill involved a gynecologist, and special instrumentation was used. The culdoscopic method was found to be more acceptable.
