  • Title: Hysteroscopy versus hysterosalpingography in infertile patients.
    Author: Ragni G, Lombroso GC, Bestetti O, De Laurextis L, Agosti S.
    Journal: Int J Fertil; 1984; 29(3):141-2. PubMed ID: 6152249.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study is to compare the results of Hysterosalpingography (HSG) and those of Hysteroscopy (H) in order to evaluate intrauterine morphology in a sample of 47 infertile patients. In the HSG sample having no intrauterine pathology, H showed up a pathological condition in 30% of the cases. Similarly, in the cases in which HSG showed pathologies, H gave normal results in 33.3%. Considering H to be a simple diagnostic method, which causes little trauma to the patient, and is more precise than HSG, the authors recommend the hysteroscopic approach, especially in cases of sterility of unknown origin.
