Abstract:
The study was carried out on 219 infertility patients having hysterosalpingography (HSG) before surgery at Tu Du Hospital from Sept 2002 to May 2003 to evaluate the validity of HSG for the diagnosis of proximal and distal tubal occlusion. Results: HSG is highly valuable for diagnosis of proximal tubal patency, in case with proximal tubal occlusion it should be referred to laparoscopy. The role of HSG for diagnosis of distal tubal occlusion without hydrosalpinx is limited. In contrast, HSG is highly valuable in diagnosis of hydrosalpinx
