60
describe tandem and ovoid procedure
I would take the patient to the OR place them in the dorsal lithotomy position and administer general anesthesia. I’d perform and EUA to assess response. After prepping the patient with betadine, a gold seed would be placed at the anterior cervix. A foley catheter would then be inserted to drain the bladder and the foley bulb inflated with 7cc half saline half contrast. I would inject 200 mL of saline into the bladder and clamp the foley. The uterus would be sounded to assess distance to the fundus and flexion, and the appropriate tandem inserted with the largest ovoids that could be accommodated. Packing would be placed anteriorly and posteriorly to the device with gauze soaked with contrast and clindamycin ointment to pack away from the bladder and rectum. I would then take AP and lateral orthogonal films to ensure adequate positioning and packing.
