Abstract:
A flexible catheter originally designed for hysterosalpingography was used for intraoperative tubal lavage in 15 patients undergoing various infertility procedures. The catheter was easily inserted without the use of a tenaculum or cervical dilators, provided reliable dye instillation, and offered an alternative to the pediatric Foley or Buxton clamp.
