title: [Hysterosalpingography with the Foley catheter].
abstract: Five-hundred hysterosalpingographies with Foley-catheter were investigated and compared to that made with Schultze-instrument. The investigations were performed in both phases in cases of cyclic menstrual bleeding. The advantages of the method used are the followings: simple, atraumatic, painless. There was no flow-back of the contrast material, the shape of the internal genitals was visible in the proper position, moreover, the present method allowed an observation in the original state of the shape of the internal os and the cervical canal by a x-ray-amplifier. The method simplified the hydrotubations during and after plastic surgery on the fallopian tubes. The method can not be employed in the case of Asherman's syndrome, where the uterine cavity is significantly narrowed.
