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

The goal of this study is to evaluate the role and the safety of hysterosalpingography (HSG) technique using intensify X-ray unit and automatic contrast injector in diagnosis of tubal infertility on 200 patients at the Military Hospital No 103 from Sept 2002 to Sept 2004. Results: the technique is highly effective in the diagnosis of tubal infertility with accuracy rate of 90.4% compared with laparoscopy. No complications but there were only 3 cases had infection in the uterus due to no antibiotic was used after HSG

PURPOSE: To describe various hysterosalpingographic (HSG) findings of intrauterine lesions, and to determinethe correlation of these with their hysteroscopic findings. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study involved 100patients who during a 23-month period underwent both HSG and hysteroscopic examinations. The HSG findings werecategorized as intrauterine adhesion, endometrial polyp, myoma, or 'other', and were correlated with hysteroscopicfindings and histologic diagnoses. RESULTS: Diagnoses based on HSG findings were intrauterine adhesions (n=80),endometrial polyps (n=8), myomas (n=10) and 'other' (n=2). The hysteroscopic diagnoses of these patients wereintrauterine adhesions (n=68), endometrial polyps (n=11), myomas (n=4), and 'other' (n=17). HSG and hysteroscopicdiagnoses were consistent 72 patients (72%). CONCLUSION: Lesions presenting as filling defects on HSG sometimesshow nonspecific or overlapping findings and the normal uterus may produce defects of this kind which mimicklesions.

One hundred and forty-nine infertile women underwent hysterosalpingography and di-agnostic laparoscopy as a part of their infertility work up at the Kwangju Christian Hospi-tal. The diagnostic value of hysterosalpingography was compared with diagnostic laparos- copy. It was found that hysterosalpingography is a sensitive means to determine tubal pat- ency. However, diagnostic laparoscopy revealed peritubal adhesion in 25.5% of patients, wh- ereas hysterosalpingography made an accurate diagnosis in only 10.5%. And in 61.7% of the cases, there was complete agreement between hysterosalpingogr- aphy and diagnostic laparoscopy. It is concluded that hysterosalpingography is a simple and non-invasive and useful method of assessing the tubal patency, and should remain an integral part of female infert- ility investigation. Diagnostic laparoscopy is a more useful method to evaluate pelvic patho- logy than hysterosalpingography, and thus should always be performed whenever a periton- eal factor is suspected in female infertility.

Seven cases of typical salpingian diverticulum were identified by hysterosalpinography (HSG). The differentiation diagnosis of the disease was discussed. HSG is believed to be the method of choice for the diagnosis of this disease.

To compare the accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound, hysterosalpingography and hysteroscopy in the detection of intrauterine lesions that may be associated with infertility, the medical records of 452 women who each underwent all three procedures from January 2007 to July 2010 were reviewed. Hysteroscopy appears to have the highest sensitivity for the diagnosis of endometrial polyp, submucous myomas and endometrial hyperplasia. On the other hand, hysterosalpingography has the highest specificity for the diagnosis of endometrial polyp, submucous myomas, endometrial hyperplasia, and intrauterine septa. Combination of procedures improved diagnostic accuracy in terms of specificity.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to assess the usefulness of sonohysterography in the detection of abnormalities of the uterine cavity in infertile patients, compared with other diagnostic methods, such as transvaginal sonography, hysterosalpingography and hysteroscopy. METHODS: Three intrauterine pathologies including intrauterine synechiae, endometrial polyp and submucosal myoma, that could be possible causes of infertility were diagnosed. RESULTS: Transvaginal ultrasonography and hysterosalpingography were able to detect 41.7% and 83.3% of uterine pathologies respectively comparing with sonohysterography to detect all of the uterine pathologies. CONCLUSION: Our results show that sonohysterography is easy, inexpensive, well-tolerated and non-invasive technique with high sensitivity in the detection of uterine pathologies. Therefore the use of sonohysterography for the diagnosis of intrauterine pathologies in infertile patients is highly recommended.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the value of laparoscopy in infertile women with normal hysterosalpingograms. METHODS: Retrospectively analyzed the laparoscopic findings of 79 infertility patients with normal hysterosalpingograms. RESULTS: Of the 79 patients, 28 (35.4%) showed normal laparoscopic findings, while in 51 (64.6%) patients, it was abnormal. Abnormal findings consisted of stage I-II endometriosis in 23 patients (45.1%), stage III-IV endometriosis in 5 (9.8%), peritubal adhesions in 7 (13.7%), and pelvic adhesions in 12 (23.5%). Among patients in whom patent fallopian tubes were demonstrated by hysterosalpingography, there were 2 (4.0%) patients each with tubal obstruction and hydrosalpinx. CONCLUSION: Even in patients who showed normal findings on a hysterosalpingogram, it is thought that laparoscopy in selected cases may provide enhanced efficacy in terms of cost and time effectiveness.
