Hysteroscopic sterilization using a micro-insert device: results of a multicentre Phase II study.

Background: Unlike laparoscopic surgery for interval tubal sterilization, a hysteroscopic approach obviates surgical incision and requires only local anaesthesia or intravenous sedation. The safety, tolerability and efficacy of an hysteroscopically placed micro-insert device was evaluated.

Methods: A cohort of 227 previously fertile women participated in this prospective international multicentre trial.
