[Laparoscopic sterilization in women using Filshie clips].
A material of 194 women sterilized laparoscopically using Filshie clips was followed for 16-51 months. The method is economical (short stay in hospital) and with little damage to the tube. Only few complaints and no complications were recorded. One woman became pregnant in the observation period, a failure rate of 0.5%. According to the literature the potential for reversal seems very good. The method seems to have some advantages over other methods in common use for female sterilization.
