Primary Outcome Measures

Evaluate in patients submitted to tubal sterilization by hysteroscopy if the use of diazepam prior to the procedure facilitates its insertion or not, through the evaluation of the inserting physician in an easy, difficult variable or if there was a failure in the placement of the devices through the Chi-Square test and divided into three categories: 0 for easy placement, 1 for difficult placement, and therefore for resistance, and 2 for those in which placement failed. We also assessed the agreement between the two sides of the tubas and the ease of insertion of the devices through Kappa, in order to exclude the bias of the same patient having different evaluations between the two sides.
