Laparoscopic sterilizations can be safely performed using room air insufflation. In a series of 400 procedures, the rates of surgical complications and complaints were comparable to other laparoscopy studies in which high‐pressure gas was used. The purported problems associated with room air insufflation were not encountered in this study.
