- Title
Predicting negligence in female sterilization failure using time interval to sterilization failure: analysis of 131 cases.

Varma, Rajesh; Gupta, Janesh K.
- Abstract
BACKGROUND: Sterilization failure due to ‘tubal non-occlusion’ or ‘wrong structure sterilization’ is considered negligent, whereas ‘spontaneous tubal recanalization’ or ‘fistula formation’ is considered non-negligent. We examined whether interval to pregnancy failure was predictive of a negligent rather non-negligent failure mechanism. We aim to test this hypothesis in a selected population series of known mechanisms of sterilization failure and their time interval to failure.
