Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical value of combination of transvaginal fourdimensional hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography(TVS 4D-HyCoSy) with uterine tubal liquid poking in assessment tubal fimbria patency.Methods Sixty-two female infertile patients with obstruction at tubal fimbria,or partial obstruction with pelvic adhesion were included.All of them were underwent 4D-HyCoSy as well as uterine tubal liquid poking,and were followed with laparoscopic chromopertubation (LPC) using Methylene blue in three months.Results Comparing with laparoscopy,the total coincidence rate of 4D-HyCoSy to assess the tubal fimbria patency was 94.3％,with the sensitivity of 90.1％ and specificity of 94.1 ％.Imaging results showed that the obstruction at tubal fimbria,uncircle-like wrapping contrast medium can be seen around ovary accounted for 80％.The patent fallopian tube fimbria,circle-like wrapping of contrast medium can be observed around ovary accounted for 85.5 ％.Conclusions The combination of TVS 4D-HyCoSy with uterine tubal liquid poking is highly in accordance with LPC by providing real-time dynamic visualization on overflowing of contrast medium from tubal fimbria,as well as the pelvic adhesion surrounding ovaries.The 4D-HyCoSy can be the preferred method for assessment of tubal fimbria patency and pelvic adhesion surrounding ovaries with its advantages of accuracy,non invasion and a good safety profile.
