In 20 patients Semm cold coagulation was performed on the exocervix to determine the depth of tissue necrosis and destruction of glandular crypts. Cold coagulation at 120 degrees C for 30 seconds achieves a depth of destruction of at least 4 mm.
Endometrial biopsy was used to study the luteal phase in patients with Fallopian ring (Yoon ring) tubal ligation. Luteal phase insufficiency was found in 9.3% of patients in the study group and in 3.4% of patients in the control group. THe differences are statistically not significant (p = 0.5). The patients with histological evidence of poor luteal phase after tubal ligation presented with oligomenorrhea and dysfunctional uterine bleeding. These results exclude the possibility of some interference with the utero-ovarian circulatory system caused by Fallopian rings.
