PIP: In 1975, 35 women were administered artificial sterilizations using the Pomeroy technique, 6 for health reasons and 29 for socioeconomic reasons. All patients had already experienced 5 or more births and rejected any proposed contraceptives. Protocol for the operation under the sterilization law includes the patients nationality, IQ, reason for sterilization, and recommendations of the local board of Social Health. Sterilizations took place 1-2 days after birth, using general anesthesia and lasting approximately 15 minutes. Of the 29 women administered the operation for other than medical reasons, none experienced either early or late complications.
