PY - 2022 T2 - Williams Obstetrics, 26e AB - Among women using contraception in the United States, 28 percent rely on either male or female sterilization (Kavanaugh, 2018). Tubal interruption or excision is suitable for those requesting sterilization and who clearly understand its permanence and its difficult and often unsuccessful reversal. Alternative contraceptive choices also should be presented.
