Broken Essure Coil In The Uterus

A recent patient had an attempt at an Essure reversal by another doctor. During the Essure reversal procedure a piece of the Essure coil fractured and this was not recognized by the Essure reversal doctor. The patient was unable to become pregnant and a HSG x-ray diagnosed tubal blockage and a retained Essure fragment. The patient decided to come to Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center for a second attempt at Essure reversal and a removal of the broken Essure device. Her surgery was successful and the Essure fragment was successful removed.
