title: Outpatient laparoscopic sterilisation.
abstract: One-hundred consecutive laparoscopic sterilisations were carried out on an outpatient basis without serious operative complications. All patients were discharged home on the day of operation. Two patients subsequently required emergency admission to hospital. Most patients were completely satisfied with the day-case service.
