Objective : Tubal obstruction is one of the most common causes female infertility. While laparoscopy (LS) gold standart method for assessing patency tubes, hysterosalpingography (HSG) widely used as a first-line approach in infertility work-up. The aim this study was to compare HSG and LS assessment tubal patency. Materials Methods Patients who underwent HSG, followed by primary secondary betwe...

BACKGROUND In the majority of infertile females, cause lies within the fallopian tubes. The causes for tubal obstruction include tuabal endometriosis, chlamydial and tuberculous infections, salpingitis, due to previous tubal approach, previous tubal pregnancy, peritubal adhesions due to previous appendicectomy, ovarian, uterine or adnexal operations. Other less important but easily treatable si...

Indications for hysterosalpingography (HSG) include evaluation of infertility, spontaneous abortions, postoperative evaluation of tubal ligation, pre-myomectomy evaluation, and more recently, evaluation of tubal occlusion after placement of the Essure Permanent Birth Control System. Here we report a case of venous intravasation during a routine post-Essure HSG, a phenomenon in which contrast tr...

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.

Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education: It is important to emphasize on the unusual radiological features of inadvertently performed HSG during pregnancy to alert radiologists and gynecologists reporting HSG.

Methods: This is a prospective comparative study done among 50 new cases of primary and secondary infertility presenting to infertility clinic of Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital from March 2006 – 2007. HSG was performed in the proliferative phase of menstrual cycle followed by HSC in the proliferative phase of the same or the following cycle. Intra uterine findings on HSG were evaluated ...

Background: Examination of the endometrial cavity is crucial in management infertile women. This evaluation done by Hysterosalpingography (HSG) University Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital. The diagnostic value and accuracy hysterosalpingography varies various centres has not been assessed Hospital (UPTH), hence this study. Methodology: A prospective cross sectional study among 101 women at gynae...

Of 98 retrospectively selected patient couples insured under one scheme (group I) who, based on performance of a hysterosalpingogram (HSG), were assumed to be under active infertility care, 96 were confirmed as infertile. These were matched by date, patient age and time of HSG to 96 patients under infertility care (group II). Both patient populations were then prospectively evaluated for outcom...
