How is the FTR Procedure Performed?

Fallopian Tube Recanalisation (FTR) is a minimally invasive procedure designed to clear blockages in the fallopian tubes, to improve the likelihood of pregnancy. The procedure follows these 4 steps 👇🏾

1️⃣ An intravenous drip is placed and short acting medication is given for sedation. 

2️⃣ A speculum is then placed in the vagina and a catheter is inserted through the cervix into the uterus. 

3️⃣ A liquid dye called ‘contrast’ is injected through a catheter to fill and examine the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes.

4️⃣ When the blockage is found, a small, soft microwire is threaded through the fallopian tube to clear the blockage.
