Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
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. |
