[Salpingoclasia by minilaparotomy following spontaneous abortion]. / Salpingoclasia por minilaparotomía postaborto espontáneo.

PIP: 200 cases of bilateral tubal occlusion by minilaparotomy after noninfected spontaneous abortion and 1 year follow-up were reviewed. 45% of the patients had a previous abortion. Tubal occlusion was carried out using the same anesthesia for uterine curettage and Pomeroy's technique. Complications may arise in abortions with an IUD in situ, with failure to use a uterine mobilizer in the intrapelvic uterus, obesity, and lack of experience on the part of the surgeon. There was 1 case of pregnancy which occurred, indicating a 0.5% failure rate. Postabortion sterilization should be included in all family planning programs. (author's)^ieng
