Comparison of microlaparoscopy and conventional laparoscopy for tubal sterilization under local anesthesia with mild sedation.
OBJECTIVE
To compare tubal sterilization performed by microlaparoscopy and conventional laparoscopy.


METHODS
Prospective, randomized trial (Canadian Task Force classification I).


METHODS
Gazi University School of Medicine.


METHODS
Twenty women undergoing surgical sterilization.


METHODS
Ten sterilizations by conventional laparoscopy and 10 by microlaparoscopy.


RESULTS
The techniques were comparable in quality of visualization, operating time, amount of drugs used for sedation and local anesthesia, and intraoperative pain scores. However, the postoperative analgesic requirement was significantly less in women treated by by microlaparoscopy.


CONCLUSIONS
Tubal sterilization by microlaparoscopy does not differ greatly from conventional laparoscopic sterilization.
