		<Abstract>&lt;strong&gt;Introduction: &lt;/strong&gt;Essure&lt;sup&gt;®&lt;/sup&gt; device malposition is a rare, but clinically significant complication, for which management is idiosyncratic. This case report describes an unusual example of Essure&lt;sup&gt;®&lt;/sup&gt; migration in order to clarify reasonable management options.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Case Presentation: &lt;/strong&gt;A 50-year old G&lt;sub&gt;4&lt;/sub&gt;P&lt;sub&gt;2022&lt;/sub&gt; underwent hysteroscopic sterilization using the Essure&lt;sup&gt;®&lt;/sup&gt; device. Insertion was complicated by fragmentation of both coils. Two years later, one of the coils was incidentally discovered protruding through the cervical os. The visible portion was clipped when attempts to remove the entire coil were unsuccessful.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;Difficult placement increases the risk of Essure&lt;sup&gt;®&lt;/sup&gt; malposition. In asymptomatic patients, conservative management with removal of only a portion of the device is a rational approach.</Abstract>
