Only one postoperative infectious complication (pyosalpinx) occurred. We report a 64 % rate of pregnancy, and a 18 % rate of normally ongoing pregnancies with no Essure(®)-related complication.Hydrosalpinges occlusion by Essure(®) device might be an easy and safe alternative to laparoscopic treatment, with successful results on fertility and without adverse effects on pregnancy outcomes.
