Understanding Essure Removal:
What You Need to Know

04 2

What is Essure?

Actually, Essure is a form of tubal occlusion and a type of permanent birth control device for women. With a hysteroscope, a device that scopes inside of the uterus, two separate sterile metallic coils are inserted into the fallopian tubes.
These coils stimulate the inflammatory response and cause scarring in the lining within the fallopian tubes. It results in the occlusion of the fallopian tubes where they connect to the uterus and pregnancy is prevented.

Why Might Essure Removal
be Necessary?

Indeed, Essure effectively blocks your fallopian tubes and prevents you from becoming pregnant. But it has its own fair share of problems. Many women simply
describe “not feeling right”. Sometimes the anxiety you are feeling can’t even be understood.
That’s all due to the extensive side effects among which chronic pelvic pain is one of the most common Essure symptoms. Experienced Essure problems caused by the device are:
  • Pain and cramping
  • Vaginal bleeding
  • Pelvic or back discomfort
  • Headaches, nausea and/or vomiting
  • Fatigue and muscle weakness
  • Weight changes and Hair loss
  • Mood changes and depression
  • Allergy and hypersensitivity reactions
  • Joint or muscle pain
Removing the Essure device can provide relief from these persistent discomforts and an opportunity to regain control over fertility.

Removal Techniques Offered
at Our Clinic

For the complications, many patients desire to have Essure removal regardless of their future plans for pregnancy. We use the most seasoned & effective Essure removal processes at our center.

Personalized Consultation

Your journey with us begins with a comprehensive consultation. Dr Bonni will have a detailed review of your health history and experienced symptoms and plan a personalized treatment procedure for you. You will also undergo a thorough medical evaluation to ensure you’re a perfect candidate for the procedure. Your health and safety is our first priority!

Procedure Details

Our expert surgeons use general anesthesia so that you feel no pain during the surgery. They perform surgery with minimally invasive laparoscopic removal of Essure coils using an advanced surgical microscope.
The surgery is done very precisely making a small incision with minimal bleeding. Dr. Bonni’s expertise ensures that no fragment has been left in the uterus. That’s because leaving behind parts of the Essure coil in the uterus or tube will lead the woman to continue having discomforting symptoms.
The surgery is just a 30-90 minute outpatient procedure and you become free from discomfort and complications!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Essure removal is a minimally invasive surgery and on top of that, we use advanced technologies in this surgical procedure. You can have the same-day discharge. However, you should rest for about two weeks to recover fully. During this time, you should avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activities to ensure smooth recovery.
Actually, no! Essure removal can’t restore your fertility or you won’t regain your ability to get pregnant. That’s because Essure coils cause significant damage and scarring to fallopian tubes. Also, fallopian tubes will not be attached to your uterus. So, Essure removal won’t be enough to restore fertility. However, if conceiving again is your main goal, then you will have to undergo an Essure reversal procedure. Consult with the surgeon about your desires. By reimplanting the remaining healthy fallopian tubes with the uterine, he will ensure an enhanced success rate for spontaneous pregnancy.
Even if you get Essure reversal after Essure removal, you can enjoy a quick recovery under the care of our experts. At iTubal, both surgeries are done using advanced technology and minimally invasive procedures. Still, you need to be easy on yourself and take full rest for 14 days at a minimum to fully recover. During your recovery time, you can have 24/7 access to Dr Bonni for any concerns.
Well, there is one called Hysteroscopic Removal. In some cases, Essure coils can be removed hysteroscopically and it does not need any incision. Here, a camera is placed through the cervix and vagina to look at the Essure coils in the uterus. Then the coils are simply removed by pulling them out through the cervix. However, the process won’t be ideal in all cases. It can only be done safely when there are a certain number of coils visible. That’s why you must seek an experienced gynecological surgeon like Dr. Bonni if you want to go for this process of Essure removal.
Essure removal can be safe for everyone as long as the procedure is done by a skilled gynecological surgeon and microsurgical expert like Dr. Bonni. Under the care of his expert hands, the risks of the Essure removal are minimized. So, you don’t have to worry about it at all.
Yes, Essure removal is covered by insurance. Most insurance companies cover the Essure removal as long as it is not elective and seems to be necessary. Still, that would be partial where reimbursement rates seem to vary from 0 to 50 percent. However, at our clinic, we accept various insurance plans.
Well, Essure removal can cost you around $4,000 to $8,000. The cost varies depending on different factors like the side effects or the type of surgery. Don’t worry, you can get many pricing options from iTubal.
Yes, you can get pregnant after Essure removal. But only Essure removal won’t be enough to conceive again. Because Essure coils damage the fallopian tubes of the uterus.

At itubal, we provide both Essure removal and reversal services. With the compassionate and expert care of Dr. Bonni, you can successfully and safely achieve your dream of becoming a mother again!
