In 1981 the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists and the Division of Reproductive Health, Centers for Disease Control, jointly conducted a study of tubal sterilizations performed in 141 freestanding, ambulatory-care surgical facilities in 1980 in the United States. Information was collected through mailed questionnaires and telephone interviews. Of 330 potential responding facilities, 141 we identified as freestanding, ambulatory-care surgical facilities. About 16,500 tubal sterilizations were performed in these facilities in 1980. The mean number of tubal sterilizations per freestanding, ambulatory-care surgical facility was 212. Sixty-seven percent of tubal sterilizations were performed in the south and west. General anesthesia was the anesthetic method used in 97% of the procedures. Nearly 91% of tubal sterilizations were done via laparoscopy, with bipolar electrocoagulation the tubal-occlusion method used most frequently. After tubal sterilization the patients were observed for an average of 2.4 hours before discharge. The average cost of laparoscopic tubal sterilization was $801; for nonlaparoscopic tubal sterilization it was $850.
1981年，美国妇科腹腔镜医师协会与疾病控制中心生殖健康司联合对1980年在美国141家独立的门诊手术机构进行的输卵管绝育术进行了一项研究。信息通过邮寄问卷和电话访谈收集。在330家可能做出回应的机构中，我们确定了141家为独立的门诊手术机构。1980年，这些机构共进行了约16500例输卵管绝育术。每家独立的门诊手术机构平均进行输卵管绝育术的数量为212例。67%的输卵管绝育术在南部和西部进行。97%的手术采用全身麻醉。近91%的输卵管绝育术通过腹腔镜进行，双极电凝是最常用的输卵管闭塞方法。输卵管绝育术后，患者在出院前平均观察2.4小时。腹腔镜输卵管绝育术的平均费用为801美元；非腹腔镜输卵管绝育术的平均费用为850美元。
