1. Review the current role of hysterosalpingography (HSG) in the study of infertile patients.
2. Review indications and technique to perform a correct study.
3. Understand the normal anatomy, as well as non-pathological and pathological findings that may appear on a HSG.
4. Know the results from our experience with 400 consecutive patients and the relevance of the most important pathologies in the infertile patient.
1. Introduction
We describe the epidemiology of infertility, as well as the initial approach in the study in infertile patients.
2. Indications and Contraindications
We proceed to explain the current indications and contraindications of HSG.
3. Technique
Explain, step by step, how the procedure should be performed.
4. Normal Anatomy
Show the normal uterine and fallopian anatomy seen on a HSG.
5. Non-Pathologic Findings
Expose occasional findings which aren't relevant in the fertility study and that should not be confused with pathologic conditions.
6. Pathologic Findings
Review the most common uterine and tubaric pathologic anomalies that may justify infertility.
7. Results From Our Experience
Compare the results from 400 consecutive HSGs performed in our center with the results described in the literature.
8. Conclusions
