Hysterectomy following Tubal Sterilization.
Ann King Edward Med Uni Jan ;4(2):43-4.

In a study of two hundred patients undergoing hysterectomy for non-malignant conditions 58 patients (29%) had previous tubal sterilization. In most of these patients the gynecological problem necessitating hysterectomy antedated the sterilizing procedure. Proper counselling, through examination and investigation should be carried out prior to tubal sterilizatoin to exclude any underlying gynecological disorder. The aim of this study was to attempt to identify circumstances where two operations could have been avoided by consideration of any possible indication for hysterectomy at the time when initial sterilization was requested.
