Özet
Objective: To compare the degree of apoptosis in ovaries and tubal epithelium observed secondary to tubal ligation either by Pomeroy's method or bipolar electrocauterization in a rat model. Material and Methods: A total of 24 female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned into 3 study groups: control (n=8), Pomeroy (n=8), and the electrocauterization group (n=8). Apoptotic cells were detected on the primary, secondary, tertiary follicles of the ovaries, and on the tubal epithelium using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate nick end-labeling. The apoptotic index was calculated for each group by the percentage of the stained cells. Results: The apoptotic index of tubal epithelium was significantly higher in the bipolar electrocauterization group compared with the control and Pomeroy groups (3.1 +/- 0.8 vs. 1.4 +/- 1.0, p=0.018 and 2.0 +/- 1.2, p=0.03, respectively) whereas there was no significant difference between Pomeroy's method and the control group. The apoptotic index of primary follicles was higher in the bipolar electrocauterization group compared with the control and Pomeroy's method groups (3.4 +/- 0.5 vs. 1.2 +/- 0.4, p<0.001 and 1.8 +/- 0.8, p=0.005, respectively), but there was no significant difference between Pomeroy's method and the control group. The apoptotic index of secondary and tertiary follicles was similar for each group. Conclusion: Pomeroy's technique, as a permanent contraception method, is associated with lower apoptotic index on ovary and fallopian tube when compared with bipolar electrocauterization.
