Tubal reanastomosis by videolaparoscopy after surgical sterilization: initial results - Revista Brasileira de Ginecologia e Obstetrícia
The authors describe their experience with videolaparoscopic tubal anastomosis in 10 selected patients operated from June 1994 to February 1996. The time of the first surgery was 4 hours and 30 minutes and the last , 2 hours and 30 minutes. The time was different according to the change of auxiliary team. Half of the reanastomoses were isthmic- isthmic. The minimum size of the remaining tubes was 5cm on each side. We used 7-0 and 6-0 polyglycolic acid monofilament for suture. The tube patency was tested by hysterosalpingogram 3 months after surgery, and it was shown that 88.8% of the operated tubes were free. The patients considered able to become pregnant were followed up for a short period of time and 4 of them became pregnant. The hospitalization lasted 24 hours and there were no surgical or anesthetic complications.
