When we first began performing Essure removal, we would remove the devices using manual traction. As we gained more experience, we realized the best way to reduce the risk of breaking the Essure devices was to minimize excessive traction and avoid electrodissection. We now perform en bloc resection of Essure micro-inserts during our Essure removal procedures […]

When performing Essure removal surgery, we use a uterine tourniquet. This practice makes Essure removal surgery easier, safer, and allows us more precision during coil dissection. A uterine tourniquet allows better hemostasis during Essure removal surgery. Better hemostasis decreases surgeon anxiety. Our visualization is better when hemostasis is adequate. Better visualization allows for a more […]

Removing Essure devices intact can be done with manual traction. In our experience, we have found this is most easily done within the first several months of insertion and before the inserts become locked in place from fibroelastic tissue. With gradual in-growth of fibroelastic tissue, removing Essure micro-inserts will become increasingly more difficult to remove […]

Avoiding leaving Essure fragments during Essure removal requires awareness of the anatomic variations of the interstitial portion of the fallopian tube. Anatomic variations may contribute to increased difficulty with some Essure insertions, be the cause for some Essure complications, and may increase the difficulty of intact micro-insert removal. Anatomic variations in the interstitial portion of the tube will result […]

These tubal ligation techniques can be performed in the doctor’s office using a hysteroscope. They avoid having a surgical incision and do not require general anesthesia. Because […]
