Abstract
Female sterilization is the most frequently used method of permanent birth control: it is estimated that worldwide around 180 million couples rely on this form of contraception (EngenderHealth 2002). In the Netherlands around 9,000 women are sterilized each year (Prismant and Health Care and Advise Institute 2004).
