Hysteroscopic selective salpingography (HSS) effectively diagnoses proximal tubal occlusion, a common cause of infertility. This simple method accurately evaluates tubal patency, aiding in infertility diagnosis and treatment planning.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive endocrinology and infertility
  • Diagnostic imaging in gynecology
  • Minimally invasive gynecological procedures

Background:

  • Proximal tubal occlusion is a significant factor contributing to female infertility.
  • Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is a standard imaging technique, but can sometimes misdiagnose tubal patency.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the diagnostic accuracy of hysteroscopic selective salpingography (HSS) for proximal tubal occlusion.
  • To compare HSS findings with hysterosalpingography (HSG) results in infertile women.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study involving 572 infertile women undergoing HSG.
  • Hysteroscopic selective salpingography (HSS) was performed on 47 women with suspected proximal tubal occlusion shown by HSG.
  • Outcomes measured included the number of patients undergoing HSS and subsequent pregnancy rates.

Main Results:

  • HSS revealed normal tubal patency in 79.4% of patients with unilateral occlusion and 53.8% with bilateral occlusion initially diagnosed by HSG.
  • Among women with confirmed normal bilateral tubal patency by HSS, 66.7% achieved pregnancy within one year.

Conclusions:

  • Hysteroscopic selective salpingography (HSS) is a clinically effective and simple method for accurately evaluating proximal tubal occlusion.
  • HSS provides a more precise diagnosis of tubal patency compared to HSG, potentially improving infertility management.
