Permanent Contraception

Initially, when women wanted permanent sterilization Obstetricians and Gynecologists performed tubal ligation (“having your tubes tied”). That procedure involved either general or regional anesthesia in a hospital setting and anywhere from 1-3 incisions, with at least 2-3 day downtime to recover.

With the desire to decrease recovery time, avoid incisions and with the added benefit of significantly cutting patient expense and missed work, hysteroscopic sterilization was developed. A camera views the openings of your fallopian tubes through your cervix, the opening of your uterus, and then a device is used to block the tube causing your body to complete the process of complete obstruction over a 3-month period.

What is Adiana? By stimulating your body’s own tissue to grow in and around, tiny, soft inserts that are placed inside your fallopian tubes you will achieve permanent sterilization. The inserts are the size of a grain of rice or 3.5 mm. The computer informs the operator when proper placement has occurred. The procedure itself takes less than 12 minutes including the anesthesia given in the office. Most patients go home within one hour of arriving for the procedure and return to work the next day with minimal if any pain medication required.
