European review for medical and pharmacological sciences·2016

Prone hysterosalpingography significantly improves tubal examination accuracy. This simple repositioning method resolves most suspected tubal blockages without medication, aiding fertility assessments.

Area of Science:

Radiology
Gynecology
Infertility diagnostics

Background:

Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is crucial for evaluating female reproductive health.
Supine positioning can obscure or mimic tubal obstructions.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess the efficacy of prone hysterosalpingography for accurate tubal examination.
To determine if prone positioning resolves apparent tubal obstructions seen in supine HSG.

Main Methods:

Utilized prone hysterosalpingography (HSG) in patients with suspected tubal obstructions.
Compared findings from supine and prone imaging techniques.

Main Results:

The prone position successfully resolved nearly all complete or partial tubal obstructions identified during supine HSG.

Achieved a 91% success rate in clarifying tubal patency without pharmacological intervention.

Conclusions:

Prone hysterosalpingography is a highly effective and simple method for accurate tubal assessment.
Recommends routine adoption of the prone position for all doubtful tubal obstructions in HSG.
