ABSTRACT
Recent reports of bipolar sterilization failures have questioned the compatibility of bipolar forceps used with different electrogenerators. Four different bipolar forceps were matched and mismatched with five generators and the electrocoagulation effect was studied by two physicians trained in the histologic evaluation of electrical injury. All bipolar systems, matched or mismatched, failed to coagulate the fallopian tube as completely as unipolar control--except for the matched Kleppinger system. Conversely, when mismatched with other generators the coagulation effect of the Kleppinger forceps fell far below that of other bipolar forceps--matched or mismatched. Each bipolar system should be compatible and its electrocoagulation effect studied before it is used for female sterilization.
