Аннотация
The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of female laparoscopic laser tubal sterilisation. A total of 265 women underwent laparoscopic laser sterilisation as a day-case procedure at Princess Royal University Hospital in Kent between 1996 and 2001. The fallopian tube was divided at the isthmic portion using a neodymium-yttrium aluminium garnet (Nd:YAG) laser probe. All procedures were completed laparoscopically and patients were discharged within 6 h of surgery. No perioperative complications were encountered. The mean follow-up duration was 36 months (range 2 - 7 years) and no intra- or extrauterine pregnancies were reported throughout the entire follow-up period. We conclude that laparoscopic Nd:YAG laser sterilisation appears to be a safe and effective day-case method of female sterilisation. Larger studies with longer follow-up are needed to further define its role as a reliable long-term contraceptive method.
