Abstract
Objective: To describe a technique for inserting an endoscope through the posterior vaginal fornix under direct vision using an optical cannula. Design: Prospective case study. Setting: University Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology. Patient(s): Patients with infertility referred for investigation in secondary care. Intervention(s): Insertion of culdoscope using an optical cannula. Main Outcome Measure(s): Successful introduction of the culdoscope. Result(s): Sixteen of 20 patients had successful introduction of the optical cannula. There were no reported complications.
