Chromotubation

Chromotubation is a gynecological endoscopic procedure commonly performed during diagnostic laparoscopy to assess the patency of the fallopian tubes as part of fertility evaluation workflows.

During the procedure, a colored dye solution is gently introduced into the uterine cavity while the pelvic organs and fallopian tubes are visualized laparoscopically. If the fallopian tubes are open, the dye passes through the tubes and spills into the pelvic cavity.

Restricted passage or absence of dye spill may suggest tubal blockage or tubal abnormalities depending on the clinical findings and laparoscopic assessment.

In addition to evaluating tubal patency, laparoscopy performed during chromotubation may also assist assessment of the uterus, ovaries, pelvic peritoneum, adhesions, endometriosis, and selected pelvic abnormalities associated with infertility or gynecological conditions.

Chromotubation is generally performed under anesthesia as part of minimally invasive gynecological endoscopy and fertility evaluation procedures.

Laparoscopic chromotubation is considered one of the established methods for assessment of fallopian tube patency in selected infertility evaluation workflows.

Chromotubation forms part of broader gynecological endoscopy, reproductive surgery, fertility evaluation, and individualized reproductive medicine workflows at Krishna IVF.
