Background And Aim:
In this article, we describe an easy and cost-efficient technique to improve the applicability of blue dye for chromopertubation using a pediatric transurethral catheter.
Materials And Methods:
We evaluated our technique at a University Hospital with 21 patients aged between 19 and 39 years with primary and secondary infertility, undergoing laparoscopical chromopertubation of the fallopian tubes using a transurethral Foley catheter.
Results:
Our results show an easy and quick performance and distribution of a cost-efficient method.
Conclusion:
Using a transurethral catheter is a time-efficient, easy-to-handle, cheap and effective method for chromopertubation.
