However, it is likely that trans cervical methods will continue to attract the investigator who is inte rested in simple, inexpensive outpatient office or female sterilizatio n procedures in the clinic. Regardless, the cost of clinical trials, r equired follow-up, and preclinical toxicologic evaluations may continu e to inhibit further research in this area.
