guided cervical dilatation: a preliminary report of a new method for dilatation of the cervix

ABSTRACT

Among 159 cases investigated for primary infertility, it was impossible to achieve cervical dilatation in 7 cases. They were readmitted where a lipiodol cervicohysterogram under screening was used employing a cannula, followed by guided dilatation under vision, directing the dilators both in depth and direction under general anesthesia, which makes it a safe technique. No complications were encountered with only one failure out of 7 due to cervical canal agenesis
