New, 15-minute surgical contraception procedure approved by the FDA

Ladies -- want to have a quick procedure to prevent pregnancy for good? Sure, there is tubal ligation and other minor surgeries that already do this, but the FDA approved a 15-minute process last week to get you out the door even sooner form the hospital.

The new procedure involves a radio signal that is directed into the fallopian tubes to create a lesion.

Then, a small rice-size object is directed into the tube to create a blockage that grows over time. Time spent: 15 minutes -- you'll be back to work the next day.
