[Value of hydrotubation in the treatment of sterility].
In the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of the Wilhelm-Pieck-University Rostock 215 women were treated with altogether 510 hydrotubations because of tubar sterility. 154 patients with altogether 392 hydrotubations could be analysed. Hydrotubations were performed ambulatory, praeovulatory, using the pertubation device by means of double ballon cathether partly in combination with the Speck-test. 35 of the 154 patients treated because of tubar sterility by means of hydrotubation and conception may be suspected in 5 cases. The rate of complications following hydrotubation is 1.5%. The use of hydrotubation can be recommended because of the technically easy administration and the wide therapeutical scale (cleaning of the tube, fimbriolysis, antiphlogistic effect on the tubal mucosa, stimulation of ciliar activity, desobliteration, neuroreflective induction of ovulation) especially as an additional treatment in the field of diagnosis and therapy of the pathological tubal factor.
