Methylene blue is utilized in various gynecological procedures:
Chromotubation: In cases of infertility, methylene blue is injected during a laparoscopy to visualize the patency of the fallopian tubes. Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping: It helps in identifying sentinel lymph nodes in women with gynecologic cancers, such as cervical or endometrial cancer. Cystoscopy: Methylene blue can be used to detect bladder injuries during gynecologic surgeries like hysterectomies. Diagnosis of Fistulae: It helps in identifying vaginal, vesicovaginal, and rectovaginal fistulae by introducing the dye into the bladder or rectum.
