C-Section sterilization: which technique is better?
NCT ID NCT06273683
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two methods of removing the fallopian tubes during a C-section for permanent sterilization: using a hand-held bipolar energy tool versus traditional stitches. Researchers will look at blood loss, completion rates, and costs in 900 women who had the procedure between 2017 and 2023. The goal is to see if one technique leads to better short-term outcomes.
