Abstract
The reversibility of Falope ring, Pomeroy and unipolar cautery methods of sterilisation
was examined in 30 rabbits. Using microsurgical techniques, an overall pregnancy rate
of 56.6% was attained. Reversibility was more readily achieved and resulted in a higher
pregnancy rate after Falope ring than Pomeroy or cautery sterilisation. The pregnancy
rate after each method of sterilisation seems to correlate with the results obtained
for reversal of sterilisation in the human.
