Daycare Pomeroy sterilisation by the vaginal route.

One hundred consecutive Pomeroy sterilisations were performed via the posterior vaginal fornix. In 50 cases the patient went home on the day of operation and was visited by a district nurse at home. The other 50 cases remained in hospital as inpatients for a minimum of 36 hours. The morbidity in the two groups was the same. The advantages of the daycare approach are discussed.
