Abstract
- The study of a modified minilaparotomy technique of interval female sterilization is reported. The modified minilaparotomy technique of interval female sterilization is performed under local anesthesia using the Ramathibodi uterine manipulator, bivalve speculum, and a low midline incision. Sixty cases were treated with this technique. From the study, it was revealed that the mean age of patients +/- SD was 31.2 +/- 5.6 years, the mean body weight +/- SD was 43.3 +/- 5.1 kg, and the mean height +/- SD was 152.1 +/- 8.2 cm. The mean operating time was 24.3 +/- 5.5 min with a range from 15 to 35 min. All patients recovered and were allowed home within 2 h after operation. No immediate or late complications were observed. It was concluded that this technique is quick, safe, inexpensive, and easy to perform as an outpatient procedure.
