title: [Pelviscopic tubal coagulation].
abstract: 1771 laparoscopic tubal sterilisations were analysed from 1972-1982 at the UFK Ulm. The control period extended to 1986. The median age was 35.2 years with a constant increase over the decade. The overall complication rate was 1.86%; however, laparotomy became necessary in only 0.39% of the cases. There was an increased risk of complications with the more difficult procedures and with simultaneous elective abortion, whereas no association with the number of preceding laparotomies was observed. The failure rate was 0.34% by the end of 1986.
