Simple and practical technique for hysterosalpingography: results obtained in 564 cases.

About 5 years ago, we proposed a new technique for hysterosalpingography in order to make it simpler for the gynecologist and the radiologist and more readily acceptable for the patients. In our opinion, the technique is simple and practical; we have performed ISG's with it and have succeeded in 555 cases, that is, 98.4%; in 9 cases, 1.6%, we did not succeed. In 5 of these 9 cases, the failure was due to an error in the application of the technique. This technique, however, must not be used in patients with suspected didelphic uterus or septum or with an unsuitable portio. In none of the patients was the technique followed by complications.

Panoramic diagnostic microhysteroscopy: analysis of results obtained from 976 patients.

Panoramic diagnostic microhysteroscopy was performed in the outpatients department on 976 patients without using any type of anaesthetic. In 889 patients, that is 91%, the examination was successful, while it failed in 87 cases, that is, 9%. In 90% of the patients, the examination caused no pain whatsoever, and none of the patients suffered serious complications, either immediately after the examination of later. Comparison with the definite histological diagnosis showed 100% sensitivity and 86% specificity of microhysteroscopy. We can state that panoramic diagnostic microhysteroscopy performed in the outpatients department has proved to be a reliable examination from a diagnostic point of view, and is moreover safe and without pain for the patients.

"Hysteroscopy and female sterility: analysis of the results from 213 patients".

Hysterosalpinogography, laparoscopy and hysteroscopy are three complementary examinations in the morphological study of the utero-tubal factor of female sterility. The Authors describe their experience with Hamou's microhysteroscopy in the sterility diagnosis field: they confirm the advantages and new prospects offered by Hamou's microhysteroscopy, encountering uterine pathology in 34 percent of the studied patients and propose that all patients suffering from sterility and infertility problems should be subjected to hysteroscopy.
