Tubal diathermy for sterilisation causes myometrial vascular damage, characterized by elastosis and medial arteriolar muscle loss with microaneurysm formation in the uterus.

Abstract

Vascular damage is described in the myometrium adjacent to areas of previous tubal diathermy for sterilisation. Elastosis, different in degree from that seen in the multiparous uterus, is most common, but more striking is medial arteriolar muscle loss with microaneurysm formation and occasional rupture.
