A recent French law, passed on July 4th, 2001, authorizes a person of age to voluntarily undergo a sterilisation on her request. The practitioner has the legal obligation to inform the person of the consequences and the possible complications of the operation. Recent technical progress as well as its assessment on a large epidemiological scale has modified the given data. In this perspective, we are presenting the different and current techniques of tubal sterilisation, their efficiency and their immediate and long-term complications. During the consultation preceding the operation, the doctor should be certain that the patient (or the couple) is well aware and he will help her (or them) in finding the right contraception. Finally, we will mention relevant passages of the new law.

Article Synopsis
- Serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC) lesions are precursors to high-grade serous ovarian carcinomas, which have the highest mortality rates among gynecologic cancers, particularly affecting women with hereditary risk factors.
- A 38-year-old woman of Nepalese descent was found to have a STIC lesion during an opportunistic salpingectomy performed for sterilization, highlighting the potential risks even in patients considered average risk for ovarian cancer.
- While the SEE-FIM protocol, which is more sensitive for detecting STIC lesions, is typically not applied to average risk patients, implementing it could reduce missed diagnoses, although the costs and effort involved remain uncertain, especially among underrepresented populations.

Article Synopsis
- Aiming to standardize care for Rh-D negative pregnant women, a panel of 23 experts developed guidelines focused on prevention and management of Rh isoimmunization and related conditions to improve perinatal outcomes.* -
- Utilizing a modified Delphi method, the panel assessed 22 questions across eight key areas, including Rh-D testing, prenatal care, and treatment strategies for affected fetuses, reaching an 80% consensus on recommendations.* -
- Key recommendations include encouraging preconception consultations for Rh-D negative women, determining maternal Rh-D status during initial healthcare visits, and ascertaining the father's Rh-D status early in prenatal care.*
Article Synopsis
- Proficiency in postpartum abdominal sterilization is essential for obstetrics and gynecology residents, as noted by the Council on Resident Education, but barriers limit access to such procedures.
- The development of a realistic, low-cost 3D model aimed at enhancing residents' skills and confidence in performing postpartum tubal ligation (PTL) showed promising results, with significant improvement in confidence after simulations.
- Twelve residents successfully practiced on the model, which was well-received for its realism, closely mimicking key anatomical structures and the challenges of a live procedure.
Long-term effectiveness of surgical removal of Essure® implants: A retrospective cohort study.
Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol
December 2024
Private Hospital Le Bois, F-59000 Lille, France.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how effective surgical removal of Essure implants is for symptom relief and patient satisfaction both shortly after and six months post-surgery.
- Conducted at Lille Regional University Hospital, the research involved women who had their Essure implants removed between 2016 and 2020, and included different types of surgery to perform the removal.
- Results showed that 74% of patients experienced total symptom relief at six months, high patient satisfaction rates (97.3% would opt for the procedure again), and while many symptoms improved, some negative effects lingered.
Impact of Race, Ethnicity, Insurance, and Procedural Timing on Sterilization Method.
J Womens Health (Larchmt)

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the relationship between race, ethnicity, insurance status, and the type of sterilization procedure among women at one hospital from 2010 to 2020.
- It includes a sample of 1,115 women who had elective sterilizations, with findings showing that a significant majority underwent the procedure during the peripartum period, and many had public insurance.
- The analysis revealed that non-Hispanic Black and Asian women were less likely to have the preferred sterilization method, salpingectomy, compared to non-Hispanic White women, highlighting existing disparities in reproductive health care.
