A study involving 396 women visiting the Dept. of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Seoul National University was undertaken to assess the acceptability of culdoscopic tubal sterilization and to observe the nature and frequency of side effects, complications, and postoperative morbidity. Various variables in interval and immediate postabortive sterilization were compared. About 40% of the patients were 30-34 years old and approximately 1/2 had 3 children. Limited tubal mobility in 1.5% contributed to the failure rate. Demerol and Valium and local infiltration of 1% procaine at the cul-de-sac puncture site were well tolerated and an additional dose of 25-150 mg of Demerol was given during surgery. Operative time was less than 20 minutes in about 90% and hospital stay varied from 2 to 6 hours. Complaints of lower abdominal pain, subdiaphragmatic, and/or shoulder pain lasting 1 or 2 days were noticed in 36% of the interval and in 38% of the postabortive sterilization group. Bleeding or perforation of the rectum was absent but an overall postoperative morbidity rate was 1.7%.
