abstract

  • An international program to determine the reversibility of female sterilization in Asia using microsurgical technique was established in 1980. One hundred eleven of 219 patients (51%) conceived following tubal anastomosis; of these, 79 delivered living children. The overall cumulative probability of conception at the end of follow‐up, as determined by life‐table analysis, was 63%. A decreased pregnancy rate was associated with anastomosis of tubes sterilized by electrocautery methods. Copyright © 1984 Wiley‐Liss, Inc., A Wiley Company
