What is Diagnostic Laparoscopic/ Chromotubation/ Cannulation?
Diagnostic laparoscopic/chromotubation/cannulation is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to visualize the pelvic organs and evaluate the patency of the fallopian tubes. It involves the insertion of a laparoscope (a thin, lighted tube with a camera) through a small incision in the abdomen to examine the reproductive organs, including the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. Chromotubation and cannulation may be performed concurrently with laparoscopy to assess tubal patency and diagnose conditions such as tubal blockages or abnormalities.
Indications for Diagnostic Laparoscopic/ Chromotubation/ Cannulation
This procedure may be recommended for the following indications:
- Infertility investigations to assess the structure and function of the reproductive organs
- Evaluation of pelvic pain or suspected gynecological conditions
- Confirmation of tubal patency and assessment of tubal abnormalities
- Detection and treatment of endometriosis, ovarian cysts, or pelvic adhesions
Procedure for Diagnostic Laparoscopic/ Chromotubation/ Cannulation
The diagnostic laparoscopic/chromotubation/cannulation procedure typically involves the following steps:
- General anesthesia is administered to the patient to ensure comfort and pain control during the procedure.
- A small incision is made near the navel, and a laparoscope is inserted into the abdomen to visualize the pelvic organs.
- The surgeon inspects the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes for any abnormalities or signs of disease.
- Chromotubation may be performed by injecting a colored dye (contrast agent) through the cervix into the uterus and fallopian tubes to assess tubal patency.
- Cannulation involves the insertion of a catheter into the fallopian tubes to check for blockages or obstructions.
- After completing the evaluation, the laparoscope is removed, and the incisions are closed with sutures or adhesive strips.
Benefits of Diagnostic Laparoscopic/ Chromotubation/ Cannulation
The benefits of this procedure include:
- Accurate diagnosis of gynecological conditions and infertility issues
- Minimally invasive approach with smaller incisions and faster recovery
- Assessment of tubal patency and identification of potential fertility obstacles
- Potential treatment of tubal blockages or adhesions during the procedure
