Destruction of the endometrium due to trauma to the basal layer of endometrium may cause intra uterine adhesions, known as Asherman's syndrome (AS). There are various types of imaging method for diagnosis of the intra uterine adhesion such as hysterosalpingography, sonohysterography, ultrasonography, and hysteroscopy which is considered as the gold standard approach. Hysterosalpingogram may sug...

Structural pathologies in the uterine cavity such as müllerian duct anomalies (MDAs) and intrauterine lesions (fibroids, polyps, synechiae) may have important roles in subinfertility, implantation failure and pregnancy outcome. Various imaging modalities such as hysterosalpingography (HSG), sonography, laparoscopy and hysteroscopy are used in the evaluation of MDAs and intrauterine lesions. Rec...

Objective : Tubal obstruction is one of the most common causes female infertility. While laparoscopy (LS) gold standart method for assessing patency tubes, hysterosalpingography (HSG) widely used as a first-line approach in infertility work-up. The aim this study was to compare HSG and LS assessment tubal patency. Materials Methods Patients who underwent HSG, followed by primary secondary betwe...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the reliability of pelvic X-ray and transvaginal ultrasound to localize Essure microinserts (Conceptus, San Carlos, California) after successful placement in both fallopian tubes 3 months after placement. DESIGN Prospective, observational study. SETTING Gynecology departments at two teaching hospitals. PATIENT(S) One hundred eighty-two patients who underwent hysteros...

Although during the past twenty-five years insufflation and hysterosalpingography have both become established and widely practised procedures in the investigation of sterility, there are still certain aspects of both techniques upon which full agreement has not been reached. One of these is the question whether they should be regarded as alternative rather than as complementary procedures, ano...

STUDY OBJECTIVE To estimate the safety and efficacy of Essure placement for proximal tubal occlusion in women with hydrosalpinx before in vitro fertilization (IVF). DESIGN Prospective 2-center clinical study of women with hydrosalpinx who were recruited for off-label unilateral or bilateral placement of Essure before IVF (Canadian Task Force classification II-2). SETTING Tertiary office-bas...

Female genital tuberculosis (TB) remains as a major cause of tubal obstruction leading to infertility, especially in developing countries. The global prevalence of genital tuberculosis has increased during the past two decades due to increasing acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Genital TB is commonly asymptomatic, and it is diagnosed during infertility investigations. Despite of recent...
