Abstract

This report describes the use of an Argyle trocar catheter for the drainage of pelvic abscesses following transvaginal ultrasound-directed follicle aspiration (UDFA) for oocyte collection. Three patients treated with this technique recovered uneventfully. We conclude that the use of an Argyle trocar catheter for colpotomy in the management of pelvic abscesses appears to be simple and effective.
