  • Title: [The place of laparoscopy in the investigation of infertility (author's transl)].
    Author: Schmid R, Schneider WH.
    Journal: Wien Klin Wochenschr; 1978 Feb 17; 90(4):130-3. PubMed ID: 146970.
    Abstract:
    An assessment of the value of hysterosalpingography (HSG) and laparoscopy was made on the basis of a comparison of the respective findings obtained during routine investigation of 105 women attending the Infertility Clinic. The results of the two procedures concurred in 76% of the women; in the remaining cases, apparently normal findings on HSG had to be rectified on the basis of laparoscopic investigation and vice versa. The divergent results are discussed in detail. In particular, intramural obstruction of the tubes diagnosed on HSG often appears to be merely functional and the presence or absence of adhesions in the region of the tubes must be viewed with reservation. HSG and laparoscopy should be considered complementary, not rival procedures.
