Laparoscopy and hysterosalpingography in the assessment of tubal patency.

Laparoscopy was performed after hysterosalpingography in 409 patients complaining of infertility. Despite the use of general anesthesia and continuous screening technics during hysterosalpingography, conflicting diagnoses were made in 77 of the 117 patients where an abnormality of patency was detected by one or another technic. Peritubal adhesions were detected by hysterosalpingography in only 18 of the 54 cases where they were demonstrated by laparoscopy. Laparoscopy gave much useful information either at variance with or in addition to that yielded by hysterosalpingography.

[Hysterosalpingography in sterility].

From 1967 to 1975 the authors performed 500 hysterosalpingographies in 851 women examined for sterility. Hysterosalpingography was carried out under the diascopic control of an electronic amplifier and a tele-monitor. As a contrast medium only the water-soluble Joduron U-S (Cilag) was used. In 286 women (57%) primary sterility and 214 (43%) secondary sterility were established. Radiographic analysis revealed 209 anomalies of the uterus, 114 of which related to hypoplastic uterus. In 286 women with primary sterility there was occlusion of one or both tubes in 62 cases (21.67%) and the sactosalpinx of one or both tubes in 48 cases (16.78%). In 214 women with secondary sterility, there was occlusion of one or both tubes in 66 cases (31.30%) and the sactosalpinx of one or both tubes in 48 cases (22.42%). In 500 hysterosalpingographies the intravasation of the contrast medium into the venous system occurred in 23 cases (4.60%) but there was not a single case of unatoward side-effects. Sixty-six women became gravid 1--6 months after hysterosalpingography, without the use any other kind of therapy.

A comparative study of hysterosalpingography and laparoscopy in the investigation of infertility.

A comparison of hysterosalpingography and laparoscopy was carried out on 79 infertile women. Out of these, 60 had abnormal and 19 had normal hysterosalpingograms. Of the 19 patients with normal X-rays, nine (47%) had abnormal findings during laparoscopy. In 62% of patients with abnormal hysterosalpingograms, laparoscopic findings confirmed the radiological diagnosis, however in 38% the findings differed. Though hysterosalpingography is an important part of infertility evaluation, a final and definite diagnosis requires endoscopic evaluation of the pelvis.

Correlation between hysterosalpingography and pelvic endoscopy for the evaluation of tubal factor.

In this study of 132 infertile couples, findings with hysterosalpingography (HSG) were compared with those observed at subsequent culdoscopy or laparoscopy. Both procedures correctly revealed normal tubes in 29% of the subjects and identical abnormalities in 24%. A complete agreement between the two procedures was thus observed in 53% of women. Hysterosalpingography showed 5% false positive and 14% false negative findings. In the remaining cases the type of anomaly revealed by HSG was different from that found at laparoscopy. Peritubal adhesion was the pathologic process most commonly missed by HSG and diagnosed subsequently by endoscopy. Pelvic endoscopy also revealed endometriosis and other pelvic disease in a high proportion of women, whereas HSG exclusively detected all intrauterine lesions. Similar pregnancy rates resulted when HSG and endoscopy revealed normal organs. The significance of these findings is discussed.

The value of hysterosalpingography prior to donor artificial insemination.

The value of hysterosalpingography as a tool in the pretreatment evaluation of candidates for donor artificial insemination has been retrospectively evaluated. In 89 consecutive artificial inseminations by donor candidates, hysterosalpingograms were evaluated for genital tract abnormalities. In only four of these studies was there a failure of dye to spill into the peritoneal cavity. The low incidence of significantly abnormal hysterosalpingographic studies, and the failure of these studies to correlate with pregnancy outcome, strongly argues against the use of hysterosalpingography in the preliminary evaluation of the patient considered for donor artificial insemination.

Dimer X in hysterosalpingography.

The incidence of abdominal pain during hysterosalpingography was assessed from replies to postal questionnaires completed by 42 patients receiving Diaginol Viscous and 23 patients receiving Dimer X: the questionnaires were analysed using a double-blind technique. In the Diaginol Viscous group, 58.5% of patients experienced moderate or severe pain during the injection as compared with an incidence of only 19% in the group receiving Dimer X. In three of tha patients receiving Diaginol Viscous, there was brief loss of consciousness. Radiographic quality was satisfactory with both contrast media. After effects of hysterosalpingography were relatively common and included: lower abdominal pain; vaginal bleeding; temporary difficulty in walking; menstrual disturbances in subsequent periods. No correlation could be demonstrated between the type of medium used and the incidence of these after effects.

A comparison of hysterosalpingography and endoscopy in evaluation of tubal function in infertile women.

A comparison of hysterosalpingography (HSG) with endoscopy in the evaluation of tubal function in 117 infertile women is presented. Results were in accord in 55% of the patients. Correction for endoscopic error and the limitations of HSG increased the positive correlation to 74%. Twenty-three patients (20%) with abnormal findings at HSG were normal with endoscopy. Ten patients (8%) had normal HSG but abnormal endoscopic findings. Fifteen patients (12%) with positive findings by HSG had different positive findings at endoscopy. Additional endoscopic findings in 47 patients are listed. Review of 26 patients with endoscopy-confirmed endometriosis revealed that 14 (54%) had a normal HSG and normal history and pelvic examination. Although HSG should be the method of choice as part of the basic evaluation, an infertile woman should undergo endoscopy before the evaluation is considered complete or final.

Tubal patency: hysterosalpingography compared with laparoscopy.

Laparoscopy was done about three months after hysterosalpingography (HSG) in 121 patients complaining of infertility. Normal patency was found with both technics in 71 patients (58.6%). In 23 of the 97 patients with a normal HSG, however, peritubal or tubal disease was observed at the time of laparoscopy (false-negative results, 19%). Twenty-four tubal obstructions (19.8%) were detected by HSG (16 distal and eight proximal) but five distal and four proximal obstructions were not confirmed by laparoscopy (false-positive results, 7.4%). In addition, laparoscopic evaluation demonstrated endometriosis in 31 cases, polycystic ovaries in six, and uterine fibroids in five.

Radiation dose in hysterosalpingography: modern 100mm fluorography vs. full-scale radiography.

Radiation doses of modern 100mm fluorography and full-scale radiography were compared experimentally and applied to hysterosalpingography. It was determined that 100mm fluorography reduced the doses by 28-29% per exposure and 37-47% per examination compared with full-scale radiography performed with fast tungstate screens in identical conditions (70-80 kV, 400 mA). The dose during one minute of videofluoroscopy was equivalent to the doses produced by one exposure in full-scale filming and three to four exposures in 100mm filming. Although electronic magnification in 100mm fluorography increases the doses by two or threefold, these are still less than the doses in full-scale radiography.

Hysterosalpingography with Amipaque.

The authors report their initial experience with Amipaque (metrizamide) in hysterosalpingography. Amipaque was compared to Isopaque Cerebral in 37 patients, using a double-blind design. Excellent radiographs were obtained with both agents. No statistically significant difference in discomfort and pain was found up to 24 hours after the procedure. However, the aftereffects indicate that Amipaque might be less irritating to the pelvic peritoneal cavity.

Hysterosalpingography using a Foley catheter.

The authors describe a simple method of hysterosalpingography using a Foley catheter to inject contrast media. The technique allows the patient to assume a more comfortable position during the study. The radiologist can perform the examination without the need of a second physician to assist during spot filming and with no chance of metal artifacts obscuring anatomy.

Comparative evaluation of laparoscopy and hysterosalpingography in infertile patients.

A comparative study of hysterosalpingography (HSG) and laparoscopy in the investigation of infertility is presented. From 1973-1977, 352 cases were investigated with both HSG and laparoscopy. In 57.67% of the cases there was complete agreement between HSG and laparoscopy. The study included 168 cases of unexplained infertility and 184 cases with abnormal hysterosalpingographic findings. Pelvic adhesions were demonstrated in 151 cases by laparoscopy as compared to 76 cases in which its presence was only suspected by HSG. Laparoscopy revealed a 57.14% of associated pelvic pathology in cases of unexplained fertility. The present study concludes that laparoscopy as compared to HSG is not only more informative, but also more accurate and conclusive.

Hysterosalpingography in the evaluation of infertility: a six-year review.

A series of 505 consecutive hysterosalpingograms (HSG) for the evaluation of infertility is reviewed. Two hundred and seventy-five (54.3%) were interpreted as normal. A tubal abnormality was found in 188 (37.2%) and a uterine abnormality in 42 (8.5%). The literature is reviewed. Hysterosalpingographic abnormalities in the present series are compared with those reported in studies previously published. Complications and advantages of the procedure are outlined. Analysis of the results shows a low morbidity and high return (45.7% abnormal), making HSG one of the most valuable tools in the initial evaluation of the infertile couple.
