OBJECTIVE To assess the value of hysterosalpingography (HSG) in diagnosing tubal patency and peritubal adhesions using laparoscopy with chromopertubation as the gold standard. DESIGN Meta-analysis of 20 studies comparing HSG and laparoscopy for tubal patency and peritubal adhesions. PATIENTS Four thousand one hundred seventy-nine patients with infertility in 20 studies. INTERVENTION Hyste...

Hysterosalpingography (HSG) remains an important radiologic procedure in the investigation of infertility and has become a commonly performed examination due to recent advances of reproductive medicine. HSG demonstrates the morphology of the uterine cavity, the lumina, and the patency of the fallopian tubes. In this review article, we present the technical parameters of the examination, indicat...

INTRODUCTION Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is still a commonly used investigation in the evaluation of the female genital tract and the main indication for HSG is infertility. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to find the pathology detected at HSG in patients with infertility in our setting. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective review of 289 consecutive patients who underwent hysterosa...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to propose a new method for imaging the uterine cavity and Fallopian tube patency by three-dimensional dynamic magnetic resonance hysterosalpingography (3D dMR-HSG) and to analyse if, by using a higher viscosity contrast solution, direct visualization of the Fallopian tubes may be achieved by this new technique. METHODS 10 consecutive infertile women u...

True unicornuate uterus-Pseudounicornuate uterus Figure 1. Later HSG demonstrates apparently unicornuate uterus with normal left fallopian tube. Figure 2. First hysterosalpingography (HSG) showed a apparently unicornuate uterus with normal fallopian tubes. A 27 year old patient presented with primary infertility of 3 years' duration and also a history of myomectomy (5 years ago) was referred to...

Hysterosalpingography (HSG) has become a commonly performed examination due to recent advances and improvements in, as well as the increasing popularity of, reproductive medicine. HSG plays an important role in the evaluation of abnormalities related to the uterus and fallopian tubes. Uterine abnormalities that can be detected at HSG include congenital anomalies, polyps, leiomyomas, surgical ch...

Background To introduce the application of hysterosalpingography in the investigation of female infertility for midwives. MaterialsAndMethods s:344:"A review was performed within articles published at “PubMed”, “Elsevier”, "Google Scholar", "EBSCO", original text books and etc. to reach the aim. Lots of unique high-quality hysterosalpingograms were provided in this article, using the archive of...

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...

From 1974-1980, 85 patients were investigated with both hysterosalpingography (HSG) and laparoscopy. Discordant diagnosis of adhesions made the largest group of disagreements. The causes of such and other discrepancies are discussed. The Authors conclude that laparoscopy is necessary to establish a conclusive assessment of the tubal factor and must be performed before HSG. The radiologic invest...

After an ectopic pregnancy (EP) fertility decreases, mostly due to tubal factor. Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is the most cost-effective tool for tubal patency assessment. Objective. To evaluate the usefulness of a HSG after a medical treatment for an EP, in order to counsel women on the most appropriate way to conceive future pregnancies. Methods. Between 1998 and 2008, 144 patients were submit...
