  • Title: Routine hysteroscopy in infertility?
    Author: Wiswedel K.
    Journal: S Afr Med J; 1987 Aug 15; 72(4):257-8. PubMed ID: 3616812.
    Abstract:
    Fifty patients from the infertility Clinic at Groote Schuur Hospital who underwent laparoscopy as part of their work-up had a routine hysteroscopy at the same time, with the Hamou II hysteroscope. In all cases carbon dioxide was used as the distending medium. Only 4 patients had abnormalities detected by hysteroscopy. Three out of those 4 abnormalities could have been diagnosed by hysterosalpingography. Compared with hysteroscopy the diagnostic value of hysterosalpingography as a routine screening procedure was found to be adequate.
