Abstract

MCA is a tissue adhesive which can be delivered transcervically to the Fallopian tubes by means of the FEMCEPT device. In the patients treated with this system, both prior to hysterectomy and on an ambulatory basis, there have been no significant complications or side effects. In the most recent series of ambulatory patients treated with the REMCEPT-MCA system, the bilateral tubal closure rate was 78%.
