Abstract
Hysterosalpingography (HSG) was performed in 220 women for evaluation of infertility. Laparoscopy or laparotomy for final assessment of tubal patency was done in 110. HSG revealed a normal tubal patency in 66.8%, whereas abnormal patency was found in 24.1%. At operation, 85.7% of the HSG diagnoses were confirmed. A clear correlation existed between previous lesions in the genital tract and pathologic findings at HSG and operation. The pregnancy rate following HSG was 15.4%. HSG apparently is of great value in the initial evaluation of infertility. The findings facilitate the decision regarding the final operative procedure: laparoscopy or laparotomy.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
