title: [Sterilization of women. Waiting lists, surgical techniques and type of anesthesia].
abstract: The surgical and anaesthesiological techniques of tubal sterilization in Norway were studied by means of questionnaire. All hospitals returned the questionnaire. 94% of the operations were performed by gynaecologists, and in 99% of the cases by bipolar or endothermal laparoscopy. Local analgesia was used in one of the 60 hospitals. There were significant regional differences in sterilization rates and waiting time. We found no simple relation between sterilization technique and waiting lists.
