[Selective salpingography and tubal cannulation through hysteroscopy].

In this paper the procedure of selective salpingography and tubal cannulation through hysteroscopy for diagnosis and treatment of fallopian tube obstruction at the interstitial portion was introduced. We combined hysteroscopic tubal cannulation with selective salpingography under fluoroscopic quidance in 28 infertile women with 49 obstructed interstitial portion of fallopian tubes diagnosed previously. After the procedures 27 tubes (55.1%) became patent in 16 cases. In 16 women with patent tubes followed up over 6 months after the procedures 5 intrauterine pregnancies occurred. This procedure is a safe and simple diagnostic method to identify fallopian tube obstruction at the interstitial portion and may alos serve as a therapeutic approach in some of these patients.
