Hysteroscopic Sterilization in an Immunosuppressed Patient

Essure sterilization produces a local benign tissue response resulting in bilateral occlusion of the fallopian tubes 3 months after insertion. There is a precautionary warning about performing this procedure on immunosuppressed patients. We present a case of successful bilateral tubal occlusion with Essure in a patient with a history of kidney transplantation and receiving immunosuppressive medications.
