Evaluation of hysterosalpingograms using paediatric size folley's catheter

Abstract

Many types of canula are currently in use for Hysterosalpingography.[1] Foley's paediatric size Catheter has attracted little attention.2 150 patients were investigated for infertility by hysterosalpingography using Foley's Catheter, between January, 1992, and December, 1994. Uterine cavity was midline in 48.6% of those investigated. 60% had regular borders, 74% showed bilateral tubal patency while in 14.6% tubal patency was unilateral. Problems arising from use of Foley's catheter and measures taken to reduce them are highlighted.
