This is a report of our nontraumatic technique using a tubal cytobrush for epithelial tubal cell recovery during laparoscopy diagnosis of C. trachomatis salpingitis. We performed a three-way laparoscopy in 95 women and inserted a long flexible fallopian tube brush through one of the trocars. This technique showed that it is possible to reach the infection site avoiding vaginal contamination and that sufficient tubal cells can be obtained for isolation of intracellular pathogens. The technique also allowed rapid antigen detection directly on tubal cells by IFA and C. trachomatis isolation on cell culture. Tubal scraping did not cause bleeding or adhesions as later observed in a matched group of women who underwent further laparoscopy during GIFT

Abstract
This is a report of our nontraumatic technique using a tubal cytobrush for epithelial tubal cell recovery during laparoscopy diagnosis of C. trachomatis salpingitis. We performed a three-way laparoscopy in 95 women and inserted a long flexible fallopian tube brush through one of the trocars. This technique showed that it is possible to reach the infection site avoiding vaginal contamination and that sufficient tubal cells can be obtained for isolation of intracellular pathogens. The technique also allowed rapid antigen detection directly on tubal cells by IFA and C. trachomatis isolation on cell culture. Tubal scraping did not cause bleeding or adhesions as later observed in a matched group of women who underwent further laparoscopy during GIFTFile | Dimensione | Formato | |
