Couples who are considering elective sterilization should compare the risks and costs of male and female sterilization procedures as part of the decision process. Morbidity, mortality, failure rates, and short-term costs associated with male and female sterilization procedures were estimated from data available in previous case series. Male sterilization procedures were found to have zero attributable deaths and significantly less major complications when compared to female sterilization procedures. No less than 14 deaths a year can be attributed to female sterilization procedures in the US. Male and female sterilization procedures have efficacy rates that are not significantly different from each other. The short-term costs of female sterilization are 3.0 to 4.1 times that of vasectomy.
考虑选择性绝育的夫妇应在决策过程中比较男性和女性绝育手术的风险与成本。根据以往病例系列中的可用数据，估算了与男性和女性绝育手术相关的发病率、死亡率、失败率和短期成本。与女性绝育手术相比，男性绝育手术的可归因死亡数为零，重大并发症也显著更少。在美国，每年至少有14例死亡可归因于女性绝育手术。男性和女性绝育手术的有效率并无显著差异。女性绝育的短期成本是输精管切除术的3.0至4.1倍。
