Hysteroscopic Tubal Cannulation: Our Experience
نویسندگان
چکیده
OBJECTIVE To find out the feasibility of hysteroscopic tubal cannulation in proximal tubal obstruction and the incidence of pregnancy following achievement of tubal patency. METHODS Hysteroscopic tubal cannulation was performed along with concomitant laparoscopy in 24 cases (age 23 to 35 years) of proximal tubal obstruction between January 2000 and December 2002. Successful cases were followed up for pregnancy. RESULTS Out of 24 cases, 18 had secondary and 6 primary infertility. Cannulation of at least one tube was achieved in 20 (83%) cases. Two patients had tubal perforation with no serious consequence. Successful intrauterine pregnancy was achieved in 5 (21%) cases. CONCLUSION Hysteroscopic tubal cannulation is an effective and safe form of treatment for proximal tubal obstruction.

Alternative Treatment for Infertile Patients with Proximal Tubal Obstruction
Introduction Proximal tubal obstruction accounts for 10-25% of tubal infertility. In the past reconstructive microsurgery was the only treatment option. Currently, tubal cannulation under hysteroscopic or radiologic control is performed both to confirm the diagnosis and recanalize the obstructed tubes. In this report, we present our preliminary experiences with hysteroscopic tubal recanalizatio...
متن کاملHysteroscopic tubal sterilization: an evidence-based analysis.
BACKGROUND Hysteroscopic tubal sterilization is a minimally invasive alternative to laparoscopic tubal ligation for women who want permanent contraception. The procedures involves non-surgical placement of permanent microinserts into both fallopian tubes. Patients must use alternative contraception for at least 3 months postprocedure until tubal occlusion is confirmed. Compared to tubal ligatio...
متن کاملHysteroscopic sterilization in immunocompromised patients who have intrauterine devices in place: two case reports
INTRODUCTION The micro-inserts used in the hysteroscopic sterilization procedure elicit a benign occlusive tissue response leading to permanent tubal occlusion. Little is known about whether immunosuppressed patients mount the immunological response necessary to ensure tubal occlusion. Theoretical concern for non-occlusion has limited the use of hysteroscopic sterilization in patients on immuno...
متن کاملFallopian tube recanalization: lessons learnt and future challenges.
Technological advances in fiberoptics and endoscopy have resulted in the development of minimally invasive transcervical tubal catheterization procedures with the potential of improved diagnostic accuracy of tubal disease and transcervical treatment of proximal tubal obstruction (PTO) with reduced risks, costs and morbidity compared with surgical procedures. Fallopian tube recanalization can be...
متن کاملOutcome of fallopian tube recanalization
Tubal disease accounts for 25-35% of infertility in woman and salpingitis is believed to account for more than 50% of these cases. Approximately 1% of women who undergo surgical sterilization seek reversal of the procedure. A wide variety of techniques has been developed in recent years. Macro and microsurgical techniques, laparoscopic and falloposcopic recanalization, balloon tuboplasty, hyste...
