OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to assess the accuracy of hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography (HyCoSy) in establishing tubal patency or blockage and evaluating the uterine cavity by comparing it with hysteroscopy laparoscopy (HLC) or hysterosalpingography (HSG). STUDY DESIGN This study was a chart review evaluating infertility patients and patients who had undergone hysteroscopic ste...

Evaluation of tubal patency is one the vital steps in process female infertility management. Hysterosalpingo-contrast Sonography (HyCoSy) has become first-line recommendation for evaluating patency. However, there remain some controversies and dilemmas relevant to evaluation by HyCosy, with no effective solution been proposed or consensus reached. Herein, combined previous research clinical exp...

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 ...

BACKGROUND In 1998, transvaginal hydrolaparoscopy (THL) was introduced as a new outpatient procedure for exploration of tubo-ovarian structures and tubal patency in subfertile patients. At present, there are no large studies that relate the findings at THL to fertility outcome. METHODS Consecutive patients undergoing THL for subfertility between 2000 and 2004 were included in this prospective...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to report a case of cervical cancer stage IB2 treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, followed by simultaneous robotic-assisted radical trachelectomy and reversal of tubal sterilization. CASE DESCRIPTION This case occurred in a university hospital involving a 31-y-old woman with stage IB2 cervical cancer treated using neoadjuvant chemotherapy, robotic sur...

A state-of-the-art overview of the safety and side-effects of ExEm-gel for uterine cavity distension and ExEm-foam for tubal patency testing is presented. A literature search was carried out using PubMed, textbooks, pharmaceutical databases and reports of toxicity tests. Information on clinical use in humans and experiments in animal models was collected and grouped according to the following c...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the scientific literature on current methods of uterine cavity and tubal patency assessment. DESIGN Review of literature and appraisal of relevant articles using MEDLINE, OVID, EMBASE, and Cochrane on-line databases. RESULT(S) Current pelvic imaging subfertility investigations are compared with the gold standard laparoscopy. The technical aspects, associated risks, pot...
