title: [Hysteroscopy in the diagnosis and treatment of tubal infertility].
abstract: The aim of this study is to present the authors' experience in the diagnosis and treatment of tubal proximal disease by means of hysteroscopy. The study includes 96 patients with tubal infertility to which hysteroscopy was performed in 1998-2003 in the 2nd Clinic of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Iaşi. The average age was 32.5 +/- 1.2 years. The indication was proximal tubal obstruction diagnosed by hysterosalpingography or sono-hysterosalpingography. The hysteroscopy revealed lesions affecting fertility that were treated in the same operative sequence. Proximal tubal obstruction was present in 50 cases (52%): unilateral--41 cases, bilateral--9 cases. Tubal permeabilization was performed by tubal catheterization or by removing polyps, adhesion and was verified by chromo-tubation at the end of hysteroscopy and by sono-hysterosalpingography, 2 months after the intervention. When proximal tubal obstruction is suspected, hysteroscopy offers a solution by confirming the diagnosis and by efficiently treating the lesions, leading to an increased average of pregnancies.
