CASE REPORT: Transcervical tubal cannulation and falloposcopy for the management of tubal pregnancy*

Abstract

This is the first report of transcervical salpingoscopic visualization of tubal pregnancy in two patients. The falloposcope was introduced through a catheter used routinely for transcervical tubal cannulation, guided by tactile impression. We have previously demonstrated that it is possible to diagnose and treat tubal pregnancies via a transcervical intra-Fallopian cannula. Falloposcopy could help select appropriate patients for transcervical intra-Fallopian therapy by verifying the site of implantation and the characteristics of the ectopic pregnancy.
