Oviductal lavage may cause dislodgment of oviductal blockages and may therefore be therapeutic. Caution should be used to not overly dilate the oviduct or exert excessive pressure. Severely occluded oviducts may rupture during the flush procedure. A unilateral ovariectomy may be performed in the event of irreversible occlusion or oviductal rupture. An initial report (Bennett et al. 2002) using this technique noted that eight of 12 mares diagnosed with bilateral occlusions and five of six mares with unilateral oviductal occlusion became pregnant on the first cycle after the flush procedure.
