Puerperal Weck clip sterilization: study I (first study of two consecutive studies).

One hundred and four puerperal applications have been performed using the (original) Weck pistol-grip applicator and applying the large Weck clip in the inverted V configuration. Follow-up varied from 37 to 42 months. The corrected failure rate was 8.7%. Mechanical difficulties were encountered with the jaws and metal sleeve of the (original) Weck pistol-grip applicator. Recovered clip configuration and tubal tissue histology are presented. Histologic changes suggest possible reversibility.

Puerperal weck clip sterilization: study II (second study of two consecutive studies).

Forty-five puerperal inverted V Weck clip applications have been completed with either the Samuel's or (modified) Weck pistol-grip applicator. Of the 45 applications, 31 have been followed for 25 to 36 months (69%), 12 have been followed for 13 to 25 months (27%), and 2 have been followed for 9 to 12 months (4%). The failure rate thus far is 2.2%. No mechanical difficulties were encountered with the Samuel's or the (modified) Weck pistol-grip applicator. Reversibility has been observed in one interval patient, while pre-admission evaluation of a puerperal patient suggests postremoval tubal patency.
