Tuboovarian abscess following laparoscopic sterilization with silicone rubber bands. 1980

R H Glew, and T B Pokoly

Laparoscopic tubal sterilization utilizing Silastic rings generally has been free of infection except when technical complications occur during the procedure. The development of a unilateral tuboovarian abscess in 2 women who had undergone uncomplicated laparoscopic tubal interruption 1 month earlier is reported. In both patients, the pathogens cultured from abscess and/or blood were common members of vaginal-cervical flora, suggesting the infection occurred after the procedure via the ascending route.
