[Pregnancy after hysterosalpingography and laparoscopy]

Pregnancies following hysterosalpingography (HSG) and laparoscopy (LPSK) are described. HSG was performed in 463 and laparoscopy in 255 patients if they did not conceive within 6 months following HSG. Group I included patients with bilaterally occluded tubes, group II patients with pathological changes in the tubes with one or both unobstructed tubes, and group III patients with normal HSG and LPSK findings. Group I included 79 patients, group II 163 and group III 221 patients after HSG, and group I 42, group II 118 and group III 95 patients after LPSK. After the application of both methods, pregnancy was to be expected only in patients from group II and III. During the year following HSG, out of 384 patients from groups II and III, 55 (14.3%) conceived, and following LPSK, out of 213 patients from groups II and III, 28 (13.1%) conceived. Following the applications of both methods, 83 (27.4%) patients from groups II and III conceived. The number of spontaneous pregnancies after HSG and LPSK is almost equal. It may therefore be assumed that it is only the mechanical activity of the perfusion liquid that has a therapeutic effect.
