title: Comparison of microlaparoscopy and conventional laparoscopy for tubal sterilization under local anesthesia with mild sedation.
abstract: 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.
