title: Gonococcal peritonitis after tubal ligation. A case report.
abstract: Gonococcal peritonitis occurred after a tubal ligation. Falk's postulated benefit of cornual resection as a preventive measure for recurrent infection does not extend to isthmic interruption. Pelvic inflammatory disease should be considered when a sterilized woman presents with an acute abdomen.
