Abstract:
1. A method to determine fallopian tube occlusion comprising: distending a uterus with a first fluid, the uterus including a first cornua of a first fallopian tube and a second cornua of a second fallopian tube; coupling a device to the first and second cornua to fluidly separate a corresponding first and second sealed portions of the first and second cornua from the remainder of the distended uterus; evacuating a first volume of the first fluid from the first sealed portion, and evacuating a second volume of the first fluid from the second sealed portion; measuring the first volume of the first fluid, and measuring the second volume of the first fluid; supplying a second fluid to the first and second sealed portions; measuring a third volume of the second fluid supplied to the first sealed portion, and measuring a fourth volume of the second fluid supplied to the second sealed portion; comparing the first volume of the first fluid to the third volume of the second fluid to determine if the first fallopian tube is occluded, and comparing the second volume of the first fluid to the fourth volume of the fourth fluid to determine if the second fallopian tube is occluded.
