Abstract
Disclosed is a method of female contraception comprising: injecting a bioabsorbable and biocompatible tissue adhesive into the fallopian tubes, and allowing the said bioabsorbable tissue adhesive to polymerize to occlude the fallopian tubes (bilaterally) to achieve contraception. When the bioabsorbable biocompatible adhesive is one which forms a simple mechanical barrier, the contraception is temporary, and would be reversed upon bioabsorbtion of the tissue adhesive. When the bioabsorbable, biocompatible adhesive is one which produces a mild inflammatory reaction resulting in the formation of a permanent scar tissue plug, the contraception would be permanent.
