A Standardized Protocol for Post-Partum Salpingectomy with Suture Ligation: A Prospective Feasibility Study

Our objective is to define a standard protocol for post-partum salpingectomy and provide prospective assessment of safety feasibility such procedure. Thus, performing in limited-resource environments was created based on contemporary practices tubal ligation. Gravidae presenting ligation following vaginal delivery or at time cesarean were prospectively approached and, if consent obtained, enrolled. Outcomes compared historical cohort gravidae who underwent birth the as per institutional care. The primary outcome operative time. One hundred fifty-seven subjects (on days 0–2). Post-partum performed after (n = 97) resulted slightly longer times (39.1 ± 11.8 vs. 34.3 13.1 min, p 0.003) greater blood loss (21.0 22.0 13.4 17.3 mL, 0.001) than modified Pomeroy 200). no difference estimated loss, but Parkland ligations (99.5 47.3 86.5 33.9 0.048). Surgical complications similar controls, regardless when procedure performed. In conclusion, standardized using suture feasible safe.
