Tubal ligation was associated with better long-term psychologic outcomes and fewer postoperative complications compared to hysterectomy.

Abstract
Among women who undergo surgical sterilization tubal ligation has better long-term psychologic consequences than does hysterectomy. This was a significant relationship (P = .03). The same statistical significance was established between preoperative anxiety and long term response. Hysterectomy produced more postoperative complications. The persistence of the specific fantasy belief in the possibility of future pregnancies occurring mostly in the tubal ligation group may be the product of the psychologic mechanism responsible for the better long-term response of that group.
