Contrast infusion sonography to assess microinsert placement and tubal occlusion after Essure.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:To develop a technique for contrast infusion sonography and assess the possible use in determining microinsert placement and tubal status after Essure sterilization. DESIGN:Techniques and instrumentation. SETTING:Healthy women in an academic multispecialty group. PATIENT(S):Ten women desiring permanent sterilization who have recently undergone Essure hysteroscopic sterilization. INTERVENTION(S):Contrast infusion sonography, an adaptation of hysterosalpingo contrast sonography, performed at 3-23 weeks after Essure placement. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S):To determine how readily tubal status and microinsert location could be assessed with this adaptation of hysterosalpingo contrast sonography. RESULT(S):All microinserts were readily identified and tubal status was assessed by identification or absence of real-time contrast agent flow. CONCLUSION(S):This technique is very promising and could represent a convenient alternative to hysterosalpingogram (HSG) 3 months after Essure placement.
