  • Title: [Tubal catheterization and fallopian tube endoscopy for expanded diagnosis in tubal sterility].
    Author: Rimbach S, Wallwiener D, Bastert G.
    Journal: Zentralbl Gynakol; 1996; 118(2):87-93. PubMed ID: 8851095.
    Abstract:
    The present study reports first experiences with falloposcopy for extended diagnosis in tubal sterility. In a total of 38 patients, n = 62 tubes were to be examined falloposcopically. Catheterization was successful in 85.5%. After successful catheterization, optically interpretable images were obtained in 93.6%. The overall success rate was therefore 80%. Considering the anatomical segments of the tube, no differences were found neither for catheterization nor for visualization. The spectrum of intratubal findings extended from normal in 25% to partly obstructive, nodular or non-nodular pictures, together with various degrees of mucosal alteration with or without synechia formation.
