“…Peri-operative complications, including wound dehiscence, wound infection, intra-operative injury, and need for blood transfusion, were also collected. The reported complication rates following post-partum tubal permanent contraception procedures, including tubal ligation and salpingectomy, are low and range from 0.3-2% [18,19,21], making an adequately powered study to detect meaningful differences in the complication rates between the two procedures unfeasible, especially because, at the time this study was performed, the complication rate of post-partum salpingectomy by this suture-based method was not known. Therefore, operative time was chosen as the primary outcome and EBL as the secondary outcome.…”
