Park, Han, Kim, Kim, Lee, Kim, Moon, and Chang: Selective salpingography and salpingeal recanalization

Abstract

Selective salpingography and salpingeal recanalization were performed in 24 women whose chief complaints wereinfertility in the Department of Radiology, Seoul National University Hospital from July to October 1989. A totalof 31 obstructed tubes were detected in conventional hysterosalpingography in the 24 women. selectivesalpingography was successful in 28 tubes (90%); Ostial salpingography was done in all 28 cases and midisthmicsalpingography was also performed in 6 cases. For the 12 tubes showing proximal or midisthmic obstruction in theselective salpingography, recanalization was tried and was successful in 5 cases. Selective salpingography isbelieved to provide more accurate causes and sites of salpingeal obstruction than hysterosalpingography and, inthe cases of salpingeal obstruction, recanalization procefure could be followed successfully.
