title: [Voluntary female sterilization. Viewpoint of the medical advisory assurance society].
abstract: The author asks himself the reasons why tubular sterilisation up until now tolerated by doctors, insurers, judges, is suddenly put into question on the initiative of an insurer. The aggravation of the risk linked to the increase in the number of demands for indemnity seems to be one of the reasons. This attitude leads to either no longer carrying out this act, or reducing the risk by a more rigorous control over the patient selection procedure and the operating conditions. A change in the law would be the most satisfactory solution.
