Permanent sterilization by hysteroscopic cauterization. 1975

L A Cibils

A small series of 22 patients who underwent hysteroscopy cauterization is reported. The uterus was distended with CO2 and dextran. Cauterization was done with a 6 mm. long, active-tip, No. 4 electrode: There was a 27 per cent failure rate for the controlled cases, this dropping to 11 per cent after recauterization. A significant complication, small bowel perforation, was treated by resection and anastomosis with complete recovery. The uterine distention with CO2 is safe but ostium visualization is not very good; Dextran distention is more cumbersone but gives excellent visualization and exposure of the ostium because higher intrauterine pressures are developed.

D008598 Menstruation The periodic shedding of the ENDOMETRIUM and associated menstrual bleeding in the MENSTRUAL CYCLE of humans and primates. Menstruation is due to the decline in circulating PROGESTERONE, and occurs at the late LUTEAL PHASE when LUTEOLYSIS of the CORPUS LUTEUM takes place.
D009765 Obesity A status with BODY WEIGHT that is grossly above the recommended standards, usually due to accumulation of excess FATS in the body. The standards may vary with age, sex, genetic or cultural background. In the BODY MASS INDEX, a BMI greater than 30.0 kg/m2 is considered obese, and a BMI greater than 40.0 kg/m2 is considered morbidly obese (MORBID OBESITY).
D010535 Laparoscopy A procedure in which a laparoscope (LAPAROSCOPES) is inserted through a small incision near the navel to examine the abdominal and pelvic organs in the PERITONEAL CAVITY. If appropriate, biopsy or surgery can be performed during laparoscopy.

D004724 Endoscopy Procedures of applying ENDOSCOPES for disease diagnosis and treatment. Endoscopy involves passing an optical instrument through a small incision in the skin i.e., percutaneous; or through a natural orifice and along natural body pathways such as the digestive tract; and/or through an incision in the wall of a tubular structure or organ, i.e. transluminal, to examine or perform surgery on the interior parts of the body.
