Postpartum Tubal Ligation Under Local Anesthesia

ALAN K. MUNSON, MD and JAMES R. SCOTT, MD

From the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. University of Iowa College of Medicine, Iowa City, Iowa 52240.

Abstract

One hundred and thirty-eight Pomeroy tubal ligations were performed during the early puerperium under local infiltration anesthesia. Optimal intravenous premedication was achieved with 20 mg of Nisentil and a total dose of Valium based on 0.3 mg/kg of body weight. Delays caused by operative scheduling were avoided by performing the sterilizations in the delivery room. The technic was well accepted by patients and is now employed routinely.
