The Authors describe their experience with a new type of intratubal mechanical device to be inserted under hysteroscopic control. Up to present time, 1471 cycles without any other form of contraception have been observed. Although the promising results of this preliminary report in the field of hysteroscopic reversible tubal sterilization, the Authors underline that this new technique is still evolving and will be improved with further experience.

Article Synopsis
- * Regular evaluations are essential because many patients don't show symptoms, which can lead to serious health issues if complications arise.
- * Advanced imaging techniques like 3D ultrasound and CT scans can help detect IUD malposition and guide surgical procedures, as demonstrated by a case involving a woman with an asymptomatic uterine perforation into her bladder six years after IUD insertion.

Female sterilization via fallopian tube ligation is a common procedure; However, after the operation, over 10% of women seek re-fertilization, which is frequently unsuccessful. In addition, there is evidence that fallopian tubes contribute to the spread of endometriotic tissue as they serve as channels for proinflammatory media entering the abdominal cavity via retrograde menstruation. Here, stimuli-degradable hydrogel implants are presented for the functional, biocompatible, and reversible occlusion of fallopian tubes.

Objective: To study the potential effect of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) on the endometrial transcriptome of affected, symptomatic women for the detection of altered gene expression.
Design: Pilot study of the endometrial transcriptomes of women manifesting COVID-19 compared with those of women without COVID-19 undergoing hysteroscopic procedures for benign gynecologic disorders using RNA sequencing.
Setting: Hospital and university laboratories.

Endometrial ablation can be performed using a variety of techniques, including resectoscopic or non-resectoscopic approaches. In this study, we compared 2 resectoscopic endometrial ablation techniques. The first technique was rollerball coagulation followed by endometrectomy (type A; n = 103), and the second was the reverse (type B; n = 107).
