Abdominal sterilization, ectopic pregnancy, sterilization failure, contraception, reproductive health.Abstract
Background: Abdominal sterilization is a widely used permanent contraceptive method
with a failure rate of less than 1%. However, when failures occur, the resulting pregnancies are at increased
risk of being ectopic. Understanding the incidence and associated risk factors of ectopic pregnancy poststerilization is crucial for improving patient outcomes.
Objective: To assess the incidence and risk factors associated with ectopic pregnancy following abdominal
sterilization failure.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 756 women who underwent abdominal sterilization
between February 2023 and March 2024 at tertiary care centers. Cases of sterilization failure and
subsequent pregnancies were identified. The study analyzed sterilization methods, pregnancy outcomes,
and risk factors for ectopic pregnancy. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 26, with logistic
regression applied to determine significant risk factors.
