[Post-ligation syndrome: a follow-up of 556 cases, 5 to 8 years after tubal sterilization].
Five to eight years later, we obtained an answer in 66.3% of 556 patients who had a sterilization between January 1978 and end of December 1981, in order to find any complication forming the so called Post-sterilization Syndrome. We traced back 80.6% of 62 patients who showed a genital pathology at the time of their surgery. We also could obtain an answer in 64.6% of 494 patients who had no apparent genital pathology at the time of their sterilization. We found that 12 patients of the first and 25 patients of the second group (10%) had suffered a major gynecological surgery since their sterilization. But in studying their records, we found that all their surgery was surgically indicated like for fibroids, prolapse, cervical cancer, etc. Three patients of the first and 16 patients of the second group (5%) showed bleeding problems which necessitated a D & C. In all, considering the age of the patients, there was no relationship between the sterilization and the rate of complications.
