A preliminary report about transcervical embryoscopy.
Transabdominal amniocentesis and occasionally fetoscopy are used as a means of early diagnosis of fetal damage or abnormality after the 14th week of pregnancy. For medical reasons a still earlier method of diagnosis is desirable. We report about the transcervical approach- using CO2-gas-hysteroscopy to visualize the amnion sac and its contents.
