Popis: Intrauterine endoscopy (fetoscopy) was successfully accomplished in 26 specially prepared pregnant sheep at 85 to 110 days' gestational age, with the use of a conventional 2.7 mm. Hopkins straightforward wide-angle telescope (Stortz 27018A) encased in a prototype 3.1 mm. eccentric cannula which incorporates a 25 gauge needle channel. Fetal blood was aspirated in 12 lambs. Twenty-five animals were followed throughout the remainder of pregnancy: nine (36 per cent) aborted within three days-three weeks after endoscopy. The pregnant ovine appeared to be a useful experimental animal model for the development of an intrauterine endoscopy technique.
