Fallopian tube occlusion with silicone: radiographic appearance

SJ Dan and MS Goldstein

A new method of tubal occlusion for sterilization, which is both promising and potentially reversible, is undergoing clinical trials nationwide. At hysteroscopy, a catalyzed silicone rubber compound is instilled in the fallopian tubes where it hardens to form a radiopaque plug. Radiologists may assist the gynecologist in confirming adequate initial formation of the plug and with follow-up radiographs. Radiologists not involved in the procedure may see the radiopaque plugs on radiographs obtained for other clinical purposes, and they should be aware of this new method of sterilization.
