[Information obtainable from hysterosalpingography and laparoscopy and importance of tubal factor in sterile patients (author's transl)].
Hysterosalpingography was used in 437 instances and laparoscopy in 99 to check 455 women for tubal patency who come to seek special advice for sterility. Hysterosalpingography was used together with laparoscopy, the latter second in time, on 81 women. Findings agreed in 64.2 per cent and differed in 35.8 per cent. Tubal occlusion was recorded from 106 patients (23.3 per cent). They were unilateral in 70 cases (66.04 per cent) and collateral in 36 cases (33.96 per cent). Thirty-one of the latter 106 women (29.24 per cent) with unilateral or collateral tubal occlusion turned pregnant. Yet, pregnancy occurred only to five of the above 36 women with collateral occlusion. The causes of those apparent tubal occlusions are discussed.
