Complications
- hysteroscopic sterilization associated with a lower risk of iatrogenic complications (RR=0.35), but a 10-fold risk of need for repeat procedure compared with laparoscopic sterilization[1]
- hysteroscopic vs laparoscopic sterilization associated lower risk for surgical or medical complications during hospitalization (0.13% vs 0.78%), but higher risk for tubal disorder or surgery at 1 & 3 years (0.70% vs 0.23%)[2]
- unintended pregnancy rare after either procedure (~1%)
- surgical & major medical complications at 30 days (< 0.5%)[1]
