In 1981 the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists and the Division of Reproductive Health, Centers for Disease Control, jointly conducted a study of tubal sterilizations performed in 141 freestanding, ambulatory-care surgical facilities in 1980 in the United States. Information was collected through mailed questionnaires and telephone interviews. Of 330 potential responding facilities, 141 we identified as freestanding, ambulatory-care surgical facilities. About 16,500 tubal sterilizations were performed in these facilities in 1980. The mean number of tubal sterilizations per freestanding, ambulatory-care surgical facility was 212. Sixty-seven percent of tubal sterilizations were performed in the south and west. General anesthesia was the anesthetic method used in 97% of the procedures. Nearly 91% of tubal sterilizations were done via laparoscopy, with bipolar electrocoagulation the tubal-occlusion method used most frequently. After tubal sterilization the patients were observed for an average of 2.4 hours before discharge. The average cost of laparoscopic tubal sterilization was $801; for nonlaparoscopic tubal sterilization it was $850.
