title: Chromopertubation--presentation of a modification of the standard technique.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  In this article, we describe an easy and cost-efficient technique to improve the applicability of blue dye for chromopertubation using a pediatric transurethral catheter.
  
  
  METHODS
  We evaluated our technique at a University Hospital with 21 patients aged between 19 and 39 years with primary and secondary infertility, undergoing laparoscopical chromopertubation of the fallopian tubes using a transurethral Foley catheter.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Our results show an easy and quick performance and distribution of a cost-efficient method.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Using a transurethral catheter is a time-efficient, easy-to-handle, cheap and effective method for chromopertubation.
