Opportunistic Salpingectomy for Permanent Sterilization at the Time of Cesarean Delivery

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Contraception

In brief

The purpose of this study is to compare the safety of performing a bilateral tubal ligation vs. bilateral salpingectomy, two procedures performed for permanent sterilization, at the time of cesarean delivery. The investigators want to determine if performing bilateral salpingectomy at the time of cesarean delivery poses any greater risk for blood loss, as compared to a bilateral tubal ligation.
