Therapeutic efficacy of hysterosalpingography with special reference to application of hydrostatic pressure during the procedure.

Abstract

Application of hydrostatic pressure during the HSG examination offers a promising technique for the management of minimal proximal fallopian tube obstructions due to debris, fine adhesions and even in unexplained tubal spasm. Therefore, being minimally invasive and cost-effective, this technique may be adopted in all the suspected proximal fallopian tube obstruction or unexplained infertility, especially prior to selective fallopian tube catheterization (FTC), laparoscopy and laparotomy.
