AB In  the  United  States  during  survey  years  2006  to  2010,  sterilization  was  the  most  commonly  reported  form  of  contraception  among  women  aged  15  to  44  years.  Specifically,  among  women  using  contraception,  36  percent  relied  on  either  male  or  female  sterilization  (Jones,  2012).  The  yearly  incidence  of  these  procedures  cannot  be  tracked  accurately  because  most  interval  tubal  sterilizations  and  vasectomies  are  performed  in  ambulatory  surgical  centers.  However,  according  to  the  National  Survey  of  Family  Growth,  approximately  643,000  female  tubal  sterilizations  are  performed  annually  in  the  United  States  (Chan,  2010).
