This study was designed to better understand how women in a developing region choose between the multiple options available to them for birthing. We conducted focused, open-ended ethnographic interviews with 38 nonindigenous, economically marginal women in Chiapas, Mexico. We found that although medical services for birthing were readily available to them, these women most often chose tradition...

we report a case of a woman presenting in a state of shock with classic symptoms of ruptured ectopic pregnancy. she had a history of tubal ligation done three years back. exploratory laparotomy was done, and a diagnosis of ruptured ectopic ovarian pregnancy was made.

PURPOSE The purpose of this meta-analysis was to determine the strength of the association between gynecologic surgeries, tubal ligation and hysterectomy, and ovarian cancer. METHODS We searched the PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase databases for all English-language articles dated between 1969 through March 2011 using the keywords "ovarian cancer" and "tubal ligation" or "tubal sterilizatio...

Possible relationships between tubal ligation and hysterectomy and epithelial ovarian cancer were assessed in data that were collected for a multinational hospital-based case-control study conducted between 1979 and 1988. Histologically confirmed incident cases (n = 393) were compared with controls (n = 2563) matched on age, hospital, and year of interview. A nonsignificant reduction in risk wa...

Tubal ligation is a surgical procedure for sterilization in which a woman's fallopian tubes are clamped and blocked, or severed and sealed, either method of which prevents eggs from reaching the uterus for implantation. However, fertilization can still occur in the fallopian tubes. While its benefits, such as effectiveness in protecting against pregnancies, minimal need for long-term follow-up ...

Since the laparoscope was introduced for sterilization there has been controversy about its safety. Advocates claim fewer thromboembolic and other complications, a shorter operating time, and a shorter stay in hospital. Antagonists emphasize serious complications such as diathermy of bowel and perforation of major vessels.' In Aberdeen, only five out of nine consultant gynaecologists use the me...

This study aims to evaluate the prevalence of menstrual dysfunction and hysterectomy rates up to 10 years after tubal ligation in women in Counties Manukau District Health Board. 213 women who underwent tubal ligation in year 2004 were followed up over 10 years in a retrospective observational study looking at the prevalence of menstrual dysfunction in these women after tubal ligation.
