title: Daycare Pomeroy sterilisation by the vaginal route.
abstract: One hundred consecutive Pomeroy sterilisations were performed via the posterior vaginal fornix. In 50 cases the patient went home on the day of operation and was visited by a district nurse at home. The other 50 cases remained in hospital as inpatients for a minimum of 36 hours. The morbidity in the two groups was the same. The advantages of the daycare approach are discussed.
