Saline is used at 37°C as distension medium, which keeps the organs afloat. Using this technique it was possible to visualize and record for the first time the process of oocyte release and capture by the fimbriae in humans. THL was performed in the peri-ovulatory period, in order to collect data that would give a better insight into events at the moment of ovulation.", pages = "10-13(4)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/repro/rebi/2002/00000004/A00303s3/art00006" }
