Post-operative analgesia following laparoscopic sterilization.
In a retrospective survey of 161 consecutive cases of laparoscopic sterilization performed over a period of six months, 41.6 per cent were by tubal diathermy and 58.4 per cent by silastic Falope ring application. It was found that, in the latter group 28.7 per cent of patients required major post-operative analgesia, while in the group treated by diathermy only 4.5 per cent required such sedation.
