Have you heard of the new surgical procedure called "Essure"?
Essure is the name of a surgical device used to block your fallopian tubes to achieve sterilization. The procedure is simple and no incision is made. A hysteroscope (a camera) is inserted into your uterus. The openings to your fallopian tubes are visualized. The “Essure” device is then placed into your fallopian tubes. The whole procedure takes less than 10 minutes and usually takes place in the operation room, although many gynecologists are performing this procedure in the office setting. Three months after the “Essure” devices have been placed into your fallopian tubes a hysterosalpingogram (HSG) is performed to confirm that your tubes are blocked.
