The effect of obesity on intraoperative complication rates with hysteroscopic compared to laparoscopic sterilization: a retrospective cohort study

Table 3 Type of serious complications^b among all patients (N = 710)

Serious complication, number (%)^a	Laparoscopic (n = 433)	Hysteroscopic (n = 277)	P value
Resection of tube	2 (0.5)	1 (0.4)	1.0
Bleeding from tube	10 (2.3)	2 (0.7)	0.1
Cervical repair	4 (0.9)	3 (1.1)	1.0
Uterine perforation	2 (0.5)	4 (1.4)	0.2
Fluid overload	0	1 (0.4)	0.4
Hospital admission	4 (0.9)	0 (0)	0.2
