Simple and practical technique for hysterosalpingography: results obtained in 564 cases

Area of Science:

• Gynecology
• Radiology
• Medical Imaging

Background:

• Hysterosalpingography (ISG) is a common diagnostic procedure in gynecology.
• Existing techniques can be complex for practitioners and uncomfortable for patients.
• There is a need for simpler, more patient-friendly ISG methods.

Purpose of the Study:

• To introduce and evaluate a novel, simplified hysterosalpingography technique.
• To assess the feasibility, success rate, and safety of this new method.

Main Methods:

• The study involved performing hysterosalpingography using a newly developed, simplified technique.
• The procedure was performed in 555 cases over a period of time.
• Data on success rates, failures, and complications were meticulously recorded.

Main Results:

• The new hysterosalpingography technique demonstrated a high success rate of 98.4% (555 out of 564 cases).
• Failure occurred in 1.6% of cases (9 cases), with 5 attributed to technique application errors.
• No complications were reported in any of the patients undergoing the procedure.

Conclusions:

• The proposed hysterosalpingography technique is simple, practical, and highly effective.
• It offers improved patient acceptance and procedural ease for gynecologists and radiologists.
• Contraindications include suspected didelphic uterus, uterine septum, or unsuitable portio.
