TY - THES AB - Current tubal occlusion confirmation tests after permanent contraception require imaging procedures and skilled professionals to perform and interpret the examinations. Alternative methods that increase accessibility, decrease cost and decrease the need for high-­‐tech equipment have not yet been developed. Using intrauterine pressure (IUP) as an indicator of occlusion following a PC procedure may meet these needs. Our goal is to simplify the confirmation procedure after hysteroscopic or nonsurgical permanent contraception (NSPC) by developing an office-­‐based test using elevated IUP as an indicator of successful blockade. We hypothesized that an IUP threshold exists to correctly identify tubal occlusion following PC with acceptable sensitivity and specificity.
