    Author: Aust TR, Herod JJ, Gazvani R.
    Journal: Fertil Steril; 2005 Jun; 83(6):1842. PubMed ID: 15950660.
    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.
