Modified Technique to Evaluate Uterine Tubal Patency in the Mare

Abstract

This trial investigated a technique for the diagnosis of uterine tubal patency by using the ultrasound-guided transvaginal deposition of fluorescent microspheres upon ovarian surfaces. Uterine lavage was employed for the recovery of microspheres, which were identified by flow cytometry. The test discriminated left from right tubal transport and could demonstrate patency in
