Abstract
ABSTRACT
Contraceptive methods are a constant problem in gynecologic practice. Tubal sterilization of women was enhanced in the late 1960s by the introduction of laparoscopy. Modern hysteroscopy was started in the early 1970s and opened research toward transcervical occlusion of the uterotubal junction. Intratubal devices have served as simple and effective methods of tubal sterilization by hysteroscopy. This report describes a patient in whom partial expulsion of a Hamou intratubal contraceptive device, (previously inserted by means of hysteroscopy), occurred. (J GYNECOL SURG 6:215, 1990)
