Can an intrauterine procedure be performed using microwave technology after the Essure procedure?
There are no data regarding the use of endometrial ablation devices that operate at microwave frequencies with the Essure micro-inserts in place. The use of microwave energy near metallic implants has been shown to pose significant risk of serious injury to patients. Use of microwave endometrial ablation devices near the Essure micro-inserts, therefore, should be avoided.
