"Clinical Guide for Contraception," by Speroff lists the failure rate during 1st yr for female sterilization as 0.2% to 0.4% and for male sterilization as 0.1% to 0.15%, his reference is an article by Trussell in Family Planning, 1990. Female sterilization is further broken down as 0% (Irving, Uchida) to 0.4% (Pomeroy, bipolar, silastic ring) failures rates.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
