Selective salpingography and tubal catheterization in infertile women
##plugins.themes.academic_pro.article.main##
Abstract
Background: Use of selective salpingography (SS) and fallopian tube catheterization (TC) has revolutionized the diagnosis and treatment of proximal tubal infertility.
Aim: To evaluate results of women treated for proximal tubal obstruction by selective salpingography and tubal catherization.
Methods: Selective salpingography was performed in women with proximal bilateral tubal obstructions. Follow-up ranged from 4 to 12 months.
Results: twelve patients had been shown to have bilateral proximal obstruction of the fallopian tube. After SS/TC, patency was achieved in 8 cases. Spontaneous conceptions occurred in 4 women.
Conclusion: SS and TC should be used more widely because it is simple and effective in case of proximal tubal blockage.
