Abstract

Surgical sterilization has undergone explosive worldwide growth over the past 30 years. From 1950 to 1980, the number of couples worldwide using sterilization for contraception grew from 3 million to more than 13 million. This growth can be attributed to improvements in technology, changes in public mores, and removal of restrictive legislation. This article focuses on the technologic changes that have reduced the rate of complications and have made sterilization widely available and acceptable to large numbers of women throughout the world.
