Evaluation of vaginal tubal ligation.
A series is described of 150 cases of sterilization through posterior colpotomy. The operation was mainly elective or postabortal. The average hospital stay was short--1 or 2 days and complications were few-mainly pelvic peritonitis. There was only 1 death in the series covering 5 years--from peritonitis. The method is recommended for widespread use throughout the country both in rural and urban centres.
