BUT: Introducing a new sonographic method for evaluation the patency of fallopian tubes.
Material And Methods:
Transvaginal hysterosalpingosonography (HSSG), using chlorocid as a contrast material was performed in 52 infertile women, 12 of with after ectopic pregnancy.
Results:
Transvaginal hysterosalpingosonography showed as patent 24 fallopian tubes and 68 obturated. LSC and/or HSG pointed 30 patent and 62 obturated. Compared to LSC and HSG, transvaginal HSSG showed 100% sensitivity and 88% specificity.
Conclusions:
This investigation revealed the good diagnostic value of HSSG with chlorocid as an easy and not expensive method for the evaluation of the patency of fallopian tubes.
