Reports suggest that significant complications associated with the procedure are rare. However, data pertaining to preservation of fertility after embolization are scarce, and some authors do not advocate this procedure for women considering future pregnancy. We present a case of...

CASE Two years after a supracervical laparoscopic hysterectomy a 42-year-old parous women presented with abdominal pain and bloating. CT scans and subsequent surgical exploration reveled...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of hystero-salpingography (HSG) in detecting uterine cavity abnormalities in infertile patients, with reference to hysteroscopy as the gold standard method. 60 infertile women were investigated with both HSG and hysteroscopy. Statistical analysis was performed. As a test for the detection of uterine cavity abnormalities, HSG in...
