Abstract
Both posterior colpotomy with associated fimbriectomy and laparoscopy offer rapid and effective methods for carrying out interim and post-abortion tubal sterilization. They can effectively be performed on an out-patient basis. Posterior colpotomy has the added advantage that it can be conveniently performed under a combination of intravenous neuroleptanalgesia and local vaginal anesthesia. This series exemplifies the manner in which the burden upon hospital facilities and medical and paramedical personnel can be minimized. In addition, utilization of the “home-care program” has improved patient acceptance and convenience.
