In comparison, 27% of persons practicing contraception use oral contraceptives, 20% use condoms, and 3% use injectables.^{231 Piccinino L.J., Mosher W.D.

In 1970, 29% of the estimated 201,000 female sterilizations were performed during the interval period (6 or more weeks postdelivery).^{218 Peterson H.B., Greenspan J.R., DeStefano F. , et al.

This review focuses on studies that impact on clinical care and standards for female sterilization. Specific issues that are discussed include the timing of the procedure, the operative approach, occlusion methods, immediate and long-term complications, and noncontraceptive health benefits. An emphasis is placed on level I and level II studies.
