Combined transvaginal tubal catheterization and adhesiolysis of filmy uterine synechiae performed with a newly developed device under the guidance of digital road mapping fluoroscopy.

ABSTRACT

Transcervical fallopian tube catheterization is rapidly gaining favor as a minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic technique. On occasion, the presence of filmy adhesions not identified on HSG obstruct the passage of the cannula to the cornual angle. We describe the design and operative characteristics of a new transcervical adhesiolysis device that if used under the guidance of DRM mapping, can restore the shape of the uterine cavity and allow completion of the procedure during the same session.
