No-incision method — hysteroscopic tubal sterilization

There will be a greater push for encouraging private insurance tied to systems of accreditation of tubal ligation hospitals in India. A no-incision method for tubal sterilization is now available.A clinician inserts two small, soft metallic coils — microinserts — through the vagina, cervix, and uterus into the fallopian tubes. Once in place, the coils cause scar tissue to grow, blocking the tubes. After two years of follow-up, Essure was found to be 99.8 percent effective at preventing pregnancy. During the procedure, the clinician uses local anesthesia to numb the cervix. You may be offered other medication to help you relax and reduce your discomfort. A small, rigid, tube-like instrument called a scope is inserted into the vagina and through the cervix. Fluid moving through the scope helps the clinician see the opening of the tubes. The microinserts are positioned in the opening of the tubes.

Three months after insertion, a test called a hysterosalpingogram (HSG) is performed to make sure the tubes are permanently blocked. HSG is an x-ray test that takes pictures of the uterus and fallopian tubes after a dye has been inserted through the cervix. Until the HSG shows that the inserts are in the correct position and the tubes are blocked, another method of birth control must be used.
Essure offers some advantages over traditional methods of tubal sterilization:
It is safer.
General anesthesia is unnecessary.
A surgical or hospital setting is unnecessary.
Recovery is faster.
No incisions are necessary — there is no visible scarring.
