Two hundred and ninety-seven consecutive puerperal laparoscopic sterilization cases during a five-year period are reviewed. There were six failures to complete the laparoscopic sterilization. A single case of anesthetic cardiac arrest constituted the only major complication. There has been no mortality. Two subsequent pregnancies occurred in this series, and their follow-up operative findings are reviewed.
