    Abstract

    After multiple attempts at developing transcervical sterilization techniques over the past 150 years, United States women now have the option of a transcervical method, which can be performed without an incision under local anesthesia. It is feasible in most patients and highly effective once occlusion has been confirmed with hysterosalpingogram. Another method is likely to be approved and enter the market in the near future. Expanded choices for sterilization are a positive development for women's health because more options may decrease unintended pregnancy.
