An algorithm that avoids preliminary laparoscopy for sterilization reversal (SR) candidates with previous Pomeroy, loop, Hulka clip, Irving, and single-burn cautery tubal ligation techniques was used.

Of 259 SR candidates evaluated according to the algorithm, 235 had SR ...

MATERIAL AND METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of 63 patients with tubal pregnancy who underwent SPL...
