Abstract

Study objective: To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of hysteroscopic tubal sterilization in women with an intrauterine device (IUD).

Design: Prospective observational study (Canadian Task Force classification II-2).

Setting: University hospital.

Patients: From January 2005 through January 2006, all women with an IUD who came for a hysteroscopic tubal sterilization consultation were selected to participate.

Interventions: Hysteroscopic tubal sterilization in women with IUD.

Measurements and main results: Feasibility of the procedure, localization of microinserts, and tubal occlusion evaluated by hysterography. Hysteroscopic tubal sterilization was performed in 6 patients. Hysterography showed correct placement of microinserts and bilateral tubal occlusion in all patients.

Conclusion: Hysteroscopic tubal sterilization in women with an IUD appears to be a feasible and effective procedure.
