Uterine cornual cauterization as a sterilization method.

Abstract

From January 1977 to December 1978, 33 cases of uterine cornual cauterization for sterilization were performed using an ultrasound scanner to locate the uterus immediately after an induced abortion at 6-8 weeks' gestation. Hysterosalpingography was performed 16 weeks postoperatively for each patient. In every case, the Fallopian tubes had been occluded.
