Ultrasonically Guided Perurethral Transvesicle Aspiration of Follicles in an In Vitro Fertilization Program

Kimberly J. Wott, BS, RDMS

Ultrasound Section, Radiology Department, HUP, 3400 Spruce St., Philadelphia, PA 19104.

Successful ova retrieval under ultrasound guidance using a transabdominal approach has been described in the literature. Perurethral transvesicle approach is a new method used for retrieving the ova. The patient's bladder is distended and used as a window for viewing the ovary and the needle. The needle is placed in the urethra and passed into the bladder. The needle is then aligned with the ovary, and the follicles are punctured. This procedure has initially proven very successful in retrieving the ova.

Key Words: infertility • ultrasound • in vitro fertilization • perurethral transvesicle ova retrieval
