Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
This study will compare the HyCoSy procedure results with the HSG procedure results in women who require the HSG procedure after receiving Essure tubal ligation inserts for their Essure confirmation test.
Women will be randomized to receive the HycoSy procedure first, followed by the HSG procedure or to the reverse order. Two independent readers will review the video results for both procedures to determine the degree of agreement on tubal patency.
