[Routine appendectomy during sterilization using a transverse mini-laparotomy technic].

The author describes an original procedure for carrying out suprapubic minilaparotomy in the hair-line. The incision measures about 2 cm. This is adequate for tubal sterilization and for removing the appendix routinely when the patient complains of pain in the right iliac fossa. The first twenty (20) cases treated resulted in effective tubal sterilization in 100% and appendicectomy could be carried out in 95% of cases. 15% had minor side-effects. This new procedure is highly to be recommended in developing countries because it allows a good view of the pelvis and gives an aesthetically pleasing result in suprapubic minilaparotomie undertaken for voluntary surgical contraception (VSC).
