Selected sociodemographic data as well as the technical and surgical difficulties encountered have been reviewed in this article. The mean age at sterilization was 38.3 years whilst the mean parity was 7.2. In all, there were 215 minilaparotomy sterilizations and forty-three laparoscopic sterilizations. Surgical difficulties were reported for 12.1% of minilaparotomy and 11.6% for laparoscopic procedures. The most frequently reported difficulties were obesity and pelvic adhesions.
