[Selective salpingography and tubal interventional radiography].
The study involved 70 patients considered to be sterile and in whom hysterosalpingography showed no tubal passage. Selective catheterisation enabled opacification under pressure in more than 80 p. cent of cases, with perfect visualisation of the entire tubes and significant peritoneal passage. In the presence of obstructive stenosis, disobstruction-reacanalisation using a soft probe was attempted with success in more than one case out of two. Future perspectives of selective salpingography appear to be very large. This technique seems to have a large number of indications apart from transport problems: recanalisation, sterilisation, and tubal antibiotic sensitivity studies.
