Placement of a Malecot catheter to enable embryo transfer after radical trachelectomy.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:To describe the use of a Malecot catheter as a stent after radical trachelectomy (RT). DESIGN:Case report. SETTING:Assisted conception unit at a teaching hospital in the United Kingdom. PATIENT(S):A 36-year-old woman undergoing IVF after her cervix had been excised for cervical carcinoma. Previous attempts at embryo transfer (ET) had been very traumatic and required a transmyometrial transfer on one occasion. INTERVENTION(S):A Malecot catheter was inserted into the uterine cavity after a dilatation procedure had been performed and removed before ovarian stimulation. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S):Ease of ET. RESULT(S):The subsequent ET was much more straightforward. CONCLUSION(S):This technique can facilitate ET after RT if the passage is found to be stenosed.
