Outpatient hysteroscopic sterilisation procedures have been widely used across Europe and the USA for over 10 years, and are now becoming available across the UK. The outpatient hysteroscopic procedure offers women the choice of sterilisation with microimplants inserted into the fallopian tube via the vagina. This offers clear advantages over standard laparoscopic clip sterilisation, which involves a general anaesthetic and an intermediate surgical procedure.
