Abstract: Transcervical (hysteroscopic) sterilization with Essure has become a common technique for permanent sterilization that is rapidly replacing traditional laparoscopic sterilization [ 1 Shavell V.I. Abdallah M.E. Shade Jr., G.H. Diamond M.P. Berman J.M. Trends in sterilization since the introduction of essure hysteroscopic sterilization. J Minim Invasive Gynecol. 2009; 16: 22-27 Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (42) Google Scholar ]. Performance of hysteroscopic sterilization in the office setting has been shown to be safe and feasible, with obvious advantages over laparoscopic sterilization with the patient under general anesthesia [ 2 Mino M.
