Abstract
Hysteroscopic Essure sterilizations offer women and physicians another option for contraception. Overall, the procedure is simple to perform and highly efficacious, and as a result, has gained popularity among practicing gynecologists. Unfortunately, complications occur with any type of surgery. We report 3 cases of hysteroscopic Essure sterilization complications where the Essure microinsert was noted to be misplaced or where patients had persistent postprocedure pain in the setting of appropriately placed microinserts. In all 3 cases, the microinserts were successfully removed laparoscopically.
