Between January 1, 1987-January 30, 1990, 374 laparoscopic sterilizations using silastic rings (Falope) were undertaken. Morbidity and major risk factors were analyzed. The most frequent surgical complications were: mesosalpinx rupture and fallopian tube rupture in 22 cases (5.8%); abdominal wall emphysema in 3 cases (0.8%); uterine perforation in 2 cases (0.5%); other pelvic structure lesions in 3 cases (0.8%). Morbidity risk factors were: previous abdominal surgery, obesity, salpingitis, use of a uterine mobilizer in a puerperal uterus, and the practice of tubal occlusion during the luteal hase of the cycle due to the possibility of a luteal phase pregnancy. Therefore, if a risk factor is present, it is advisable to use another contraceptive method. (author's modified)
