Hysteroscopic Tubal Re-cannulation cannula

During the procedure, in the X-ray department, you will be sedated and a speculum (a device used to open the vagina and view the cervix and surrounding tissue) will be inserted into your vagina in the same way as during a Pap smear. A tiny tube called a catheter is inserted through your cervix, into your uterus and to the fallopian tubes past the blockage. A special kind of dye is then quickly released. If the dye is seen on X-ray passing through the fallopian tube and into the pelvic cavity, there was no obstruction. If not, a tiny guidewire may be carefully passed through the catheter and manipulated to remove the blockage.
