Abstract
Summary: A comparison is made of the advantages and disadvantages of tubal surgery or hysterectomy for female sterilization purposes. The former is usually the more desirable but, because 15–20% of women ultimately require hysterectomy, criteria are described whereby this group can be identified and the operation carried out as a first choice.
