Abstract
Objective: To compare two methods of tubal sterilization; modi?ed Pomeroy and a modi?cation added to modi?ed Pomeroy's method, in a low resource setting. In this prospective study conducted from Methods: 2019 to 2021 in one thousand women, we compared Pomeroy's method with an other method in which a slight modi?cation in the original modi?ed Pomeroy's technique was introduced, in a very low resource rural community hospital with only basic operation theater facility. In modi?ed Pomeroy's method, a loop of fallopian tube is resected and trans?xed with 2-0 chromic catgut surgical suture material. In our study we added another modi?cation to the modi?ed Pomeroy's method, wherein the proximal end of the fallopian tube was additionally ligated with a 2-0 silk suture. The patients were followed up from 6months-2 years. A failure rate of 0.4% was observed in women who underwent Modi?ed Pomeroy's method in contrast to no Results: failure in women in whom the proximal end of the tube was additionally ligated. Additional modi?cation to the Conclusion: original modi?ed Pomeroy's method of sterilization can be potentially promising in reduction of sterilization failure rate in parts of world where salpingectomy is less readily accepted
