Hysterosalpingographic follow-up of the partial salpingectomy type of sterilization.
Two hundred and eleven of 743 patients with salpingectomy-type sterilization had hysterosalpingographic (HSG) follow-up. This type of sterilization was performed post partum, electively suprapubic, vaginally (including fimbriectomies), or at the time of cesarean section. A Foley catheter technique was used for hysterosalpingography. Of these, 1.895 per cent had fistula on hysterosalpingography. Mechanism of fistula formations and recanalization is discussed. A modification of the Pomeroy sterilization procedure is described and discussed.
