Foley catheter for salpingography, pneumonography, tubal insufflation, and hydrotubation.
Using a pediatric Foley catheter, salpingography, CO2 insufflation, hydrotubation, pelvic pneumography, pelvic pneumoperitoneum for laparoscopy, and pneumohysterosalpingography were performed in more than 1000 cases. The Foley catheter technic was fully described and the advantages outlined. In general, the Foley catheter proved to be a simple and atraumatic technic, eliminating some of the difficulties associated with the use of the metal cannula.
