Hysterectomy subsequent to laparoscopic sterilization.
The incidence of hysterectomy for bleeding disorders among sterilized women was compared with the incidence of hysterectomy for bleeding disorders among the female population of the same age in Denmark. The relative risk of undergoing hysterectomy subsequent to tubal sterilization was increased compared to the control group. However, there are several other plausible explanations for this apparently increased risk.
