چکیده
Conclusion: The readily available, easy to interpret TASCSH is not only safer and cheaper but it’s as accurate as HSG in evaluating the fallopian tubes and uterine cavity in infertile patients. We advocate its use as replacement for HSG in environment like ours where Hysteroscopy, MRI, positive contrast sonohysterography, transvaginal probes and skill are not readily available. AdemolA A.
