过去十年中,绝育已被纳入生殖控制技术的一种主要方法。在美国作绝育的妇女已超过6百万,而且对30岁以上者,绝育是最普通的避孕方法。绝育的安全性和效果较其他避孕方法为优越,这正是它盛行的原因。每年有一半30岁以下的妇女做了绝育手术,而这些人常是因离婚和再婚要求复通的。据估计大约占所有绝育妇女的1%或每年大约有5000人要求复通手术。由于绝育措施已被广泛采用和伴随着要求复通的问题,本文将评述美国可逆性绝育的现状并阐述为发展可逆性绝育的技术设计在临床和试验方面所作的努力。绝育术后的懊悔是复通的开始阶段。常因绝育后生活环境的改变而希望恢复生育力。Schwyhart和Kutner回顾了1949～1969年间已发表的22篇研究论文,发现后悔手术的 Sterilization has been a major method of reproductive control technology over the past decade. More than 6 million women have been sterilized in the United States, and sterilization is the most common method of contraception for people over 30 years of age. The safety and effectiveness of sterilization is superior to other methods of contraception, which is why it is prevalent. Half of women under the age of 30 are undergoing sterilization every year, and these people often require recanalization due to divorce and remarriage. It is estimated that about 1% of all women who become sterile or about 5000 people require recanalization each year. As sterilization has been widely adopted and with issues requiring recanalization, this article reviews the current status of reversible sterilization in the United States and describes the clinical and experimental efforts to develop a technical design for reversible sterilization. After sterilization, regret is the beginning of the complex. Often due to changes in the living environment after sterilization and hope to restore fertility. Schwyhart and Kutner reviewed 22 published research papers from 1949 to 1969 and found that regretful surgery
