Comparison of Results of Different Surgical Techniques Used in Female Tubal Sterilization

The investigator's aim in this study is to compare the results of tubal ligation surgery, one of the contraceptive methods, between different surgical techniques. 194 patients were included in the study. Of these patients, 104 had vaginal approach, 44 had laparotomic and 46 had laparoscopic tube ligation surgery. These surgical techniques are statistically was compared; Visual Analog Pain Scale (VAS) after surgery, in terms of duration of surgery, length of hospital stay, cost to hospital and amount of blood loss. As a result of the analysis; tubal sterilization technique performed with vaginal colpotomy were found to be more successful than other techniques; Visual Analog Pain Scale score, postoperative hospital stay, operation time and cost.

About this study

The study compared the peroperative effects and postoperative results of different surgical techniques with three different techniques in patients undergoing tubal sterilization.

surgical techniques used:

Mini Laparotomic tubal ligation
Laparoscopic tubal ligation
tubal ligation by posterior colpotomy

A total of 194 patients were included in the study. Tubal ligation was performed in 44 patients with mini laparotomy, 46 patients with laparoscopy and 104 patients with posterior colpotomy technique.

The following parameters were evaluated in the study

Parity
How many of their previous births are vaginal delivery, how many are cesarian section
6th hour Visual Analog Pain Scale (VAS) score
24th hour Visual Analog Pain Scale (VAS) score
Preoperative - postoperative hmg differences
Surgery time
Length of hospital stay
