“…McCann and Kessel [8] reported no change in menstrual patterns after laparoscopic sterilization in a large study group. Similarly some others reported that tubal occlusion did not influence menstrual loss [7,10,11]. Ringrose [2] concluded that fimbriectomy may be the best surgical procedure to diminish the present unsatisfactory incidence of postligation pain and menorrhagia.…”

Changes in menstrual cycle length, menstrual duration, number of pads, dysmenorrhea and non-cyclic pelvic pain were studied in 43 women following tubal sterilization with three different techniques. One group consisted of 17 women undergoing laparotomy by Pomeroy technique; the second group consisted of 11 women undergoing laparoscopy by Fallope rings; and the third group consisted of 15 women undergoing colpotomy by fimbriectomy. The differences before and after sterilization in cycle length were non-significant in all groups (p > 0.05). After sterilization, menstrual duration and number of pads were significantly increased in the laparotomy (p < 0.001) and laparoscopy (p < 0.01) groups but non-significantly in the colpotomy group (p > 0.05). Comparison of these parameters between the groups did not show any significant differences (p > 0.05). After sterilization, increases in the severity of dysmenorrhea and non-cyclic pelvic pain were non-significant in all groups (p > 0.05). We concluded that there were no significant differences in menstrual disorders after sterilization among these three different techniques.

“…Lu and Chun [42] proposed a mechanism for increased menstrual loss following tubal ligation. However, Alderman [43] conducted a prospective trial of patients undergoing Pomeroy-type tubal ligation and failed to show any increase in menstrual loss. It has been proposed that this is more likely with tubal division than with occlusion by clips or rings, and that this is the explanation for improved results with laparoscopic methods.…”

To determine whether there are changes in the utero-tubo-ovarian circulation after tubal sterilization, selective arteriograms were taken in vivo every 0.3--7.0 seconds with a Puck-type seriograph and also in vitro. A control arteriographic study was made. The operations performed were fimbriectomy and modified Pomeroy. The 30 patients studied were divided into two groups. One was formed by 20 nonpregnant women. The other ten patients were in the early puerperium. Arteriographic images with and without tubal sterilization were prepared, and the different techniques were compared. With the Pomeroy operations, the various tubal sites where surgery was performed were also compared. It was concluded that neither the modified Pomeroy sterilization nor fimbriectomy alters ovarian perfusion in either nonpregnant women or those in the early puerperium.
