The increasing number of sterilizations among young women with few or no children had increased interest in the development of methods which are simple, effective, cosmetically suitable and which involve the fewest possible sick days and which minimize destruction of the Fallopian tube so that refertilization has the best chance for success. In Denmark the method used most often in laparoscopy with electrocoagulation. Since 1983 the Fredericksberg hospital has exclusively used laparoscopic sterilization with the Filshie clip. A total of 194 women were sterilized during the period Aug. 1983-Aug. 1986. The mark V Filshie clip was applied a few cm from the horn of the uterus with an applicator which was introduced intraperitoneally with a special trocar. The majority of the women were in their 30s with 20% in their 20s and 24% in their 40s. The patients were observed for 16-51 months. There were no operative complications. 2 patients complained of abdominal pain postoperatively and were treated with antibiotics for suspected perimetritis. 1 patient complained of dysuria and pain but recovered spontaneously within 4 weeks. 1 woman became pregnant 11 months after the operation, corresponding to a pregnancy frequency of .5%. Upon resterilization it was found that the left clip had slipped off. None of the patients were refertilized. 13% of the women had had no children; 27%, 1 child; 44%, 2; 13%, 3; and 2%, 4 or more. 52% of the woman had no induced abortions; 26%, 1; 15%, 2; 4%, 3 and 3%, 4 or more.
