Hysteroscopy and Contraception

Abstract

The various relationships between hysteroscopy and contraception are discussed, including hysteroscopic sterilisation, hysteroscopic placement of long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) devices, and hysteroscopic methods of solving problems related to contraceptive devices (sterilisation and intrauterine contraceptive devices). Since the last hysteroscopic sterilisation method (Essure®, see the relevant passage in the text) was removed form the market, all techniques described are mainly of historic value. However possible future methods are described as well.
