Abstract:
Female tubal sterilization remains the most widely used method of permanent contraception worldwide. Recent studies have shown the new sterilization technique by ESSURE microinsert to be an effective method with decided advantages for the patient in terms of morbidity associated to a quick recovery. We discuss the possible hysteroscopic signs of tubal perforation and the right measures to take if a perforation is suspected, with respect to the possible complications and contraceptive failure.
