Hysteroscopic Sterilisation for Women
A MINIMALLY INVASIVE STERILISATION PROCEDURE FOR WOMEN
If you've decided that your family is complete, sterilisation offers a highly effective form of permanent birth control
What is hysteroscopic sterilisation?
Hysteroscopic sterilisation is a surgical procedure, which involves placing small, flexible micro-inserts into your fallopian tubes.
Following the procedure, your body will gradually form a natural barrier around the micro-inserts, preventing any sperm from entering.
Need to know
Both arthroplasty and fusion surgery are performed under general anaesthetic. The procedure takes between one and two hours.
For an arthroplasty, a small cut is made in your hand and the worn bone ends. An implant is put in its place and the area closed.
For fusion surgery, the worn joint surfaces are sculpted to match each other, and fixed firmly together using screws or plates.
Your consultant will explain the procedure to you and answer any questions you may have. Like all procedures, there may be some risks and side effects involved. Your consultant will explain these to you.
Your consultant may recommend a splint while your hand recovers from surgery. You'll have a follow-up appointment with a hand therapist after two weeks. They will help you move your hand and manage the scar. You'll have a regular follow-up appointment with the hand therapist.
