Update on transcervical sterilization

Transcervical sterilization techniques as of 1980 are reviewed. A personal and literature search is reported on developments between 1980 and 1992. The potential of endometrial ablation for a transcervical method of fertility control is explored. An appraisal of the more promising methods for future study is made, including silastic tubal plugs, quinacrine, Femcept delivery of an iodine mixture and endometrial ablation.
