Sterilization: A Comparative Review

J. D. Keeping

Abstract: Publications relating to surgical procedures for sterilization have been reviewed, and the incidences of complications and subsequent pregnancies compared. Laparoscopic sterilization has the lowest incidence of complication, the morbidity rate being lower than that of laparotomy sterilization or hysterectomy, and the mortality rate lower than that of a single pregnancy or taking oral contraceptives for 1 year.

Over a 5‐year period 232 ectopic pregnancies were recorded, and in three cases tubal sterilization had been performed prior to the development of the extrauterine pregnancy (1.3%).Subsequent to female sterilization both intra‐ and extrauterine pregnancies may occur. The ectopic pregnancy may be caused by luteal phase pregnancy, operative failure or technical failure; fistula formation is probably the most common. Pregnancies that result after sterilization due to fistula formation are most probably ectopic.

This paper analyzes four areas in which reproductive freedom is being denied to women. The first area involves the use of sterilization without adequate counseling as to the risk of reversibility of the method or when it is made a precondition for performing an abortion. The second concerns the sterilization technique chosen, especially in developing countries, and the failure of international population agencies to note the higher complication rates of certain procedures. The third involves the inadequate information provided to women about the side-effects of the controversial injectable contraceptive, Depo-Provera. The fourth area concerns the unethical marketing of the Dalkon Shield device. It is concluded that physicians have a responsibility to avoid allowing authoritarian attitudes or racial, class, or sex prejudices to influence their treatment of women.
