title: [Tubal sterilization with the tupla-clip per laparoscopiam (author's transl)].
abstract: This study refers about a newly developed plastic clip which has been used with good results for the past three years in tubal sterilization. By applying this method, heat or thermal injuries are avoided and a greater possibility of refertilization is indicated. This clinical evaluation consists of experimental data of 243 women who underwent sterilization in the local OB/GYN clinics at Fulda and at Bremerhaven. 59 women were sterilized during puerperium, and 184 were sterilized irrespective of pregnancy. As complications, 2 pregnancies were observed, further 3 hematomae within the broad ligament; 11 clips dropped into the free adbominal cavity while 5 clips broke during application. After the initial difficulties, the authors of this study recommend a sterilization with this tubal clip as an alternative to the usual methods of sterilization.
