We conducted a retrospective study to evaluate the efficacy of Filshie clips for pedicle ligation during laparoscopic subtotal hysterectomy. The procedure was a combination of endoscopic stapling with lateral movement of the cartridge to the infundibulopelvic or ovarian ligaments, Filshie clips to uterine arteries, cutting diathermy to transect the cervix, and motorized morcellator to remove the uterine body. Two patients had postoperative spotting from the stump. Median return to home activity was 7.5 weeks (range 2-24 wks) and to work was 9.5 weeks (range 2-12 wks). Based on a questionnaire survey, all 12 women were satisfied with the operation. In those who were sexually active it was associated with improved sexual functioning in six and no change in four.

Article Synopsis
- - A 66-year-old female developed a lump under her skin, which turned out to be a sterilisation clip that migrated from a procedure she had 24 years prior.
- - The patient was referred to the Surgical Emergency Unit after noticing pain and tenderness around the lump, which was confirmed via ultrasound to be a foreign body.
- - This case highlights the rare occurrence of sterilisation clip migration, suggesting that healthcare providers should be alert to the possibility, especially in patients with prior sterilisation and no recent trauma.

Introduction: Sterilization at caesarean section is usually performed by the modified Pomeroy's technique. Application of Falope rings and Filshie clips may also be used for tubal sterilization at caesarean section, and these techniques are also used during laparoscopy or minilaparotomy.
Objectives: The main objective of the study was to evaluate the failure rates, complications, technical difficulties and reversibility of the Falope ring application for tubal sterilization as compared to the traditional modified Pomeroy's technique used during caesarean sections.
