title: [Culdoscopic sterilization].
abstract: Culdoscopic sterilization deserves to have a high place in the methods chosen for surgical sterilization. It has to be carried out in the operating theatre. Asepsis is essential. The process is simple and quick and is carried out under analgesia (Meperidine and Chlorpromazine) and a local anaesthetic. The patient is placed in the knee-chest position. A special speculum is inserted. Both fimbriae are removed after they have been brought down into the vagina from the Pouch of Douglas using Gutierrez-Najar's special forceps. On the average the operation takes about a quarter of an hour. The patient may go home with her husband six hours later. The convalescence is usually completely uncomplicated without any after-effects.
