title: [Selective salpingography in cases of proximal tubal occlusion].
abstract: The technical performance and results of selective salpingography (SGS) in 28 infertile women with proximal tubal occlusion (PTO) are presented. In 50 cases of PTO, diagnosed first by hysterosalpingography (HSG) and/or laparoscopy, 14 oviducts (28%) were patent during initial HSG using the baloon catheter tightly filling the internal cervical orificium and from remaining 36 tubes 27 (75%) were successfully recanalized by SGS. Three patients after successful SGS became pregnant. One of the pregnancies was ectopic. The SGS should be widely accepted in diagnosing and treatment of PTO as a cheap, simple, noninvasive and very effective method.
