Abstract

A total of 43 patients who had undergone laparoscopic tubal occl usion by means of bipolar cauterization underwent bilateral salpingectomy 6- 30 months later. The macroscopic and microscopic changes in the fallopian tubes are described. Although 35 patients appeared to have occluded tubes on macro-scopic examination, only 22 showed occlusion on microscopic examination.
