Abstract The aim of the present study was to evaluate the results obtained in the assessment of tubal patency by Colour Doppler HSG in comparison with roentgenogram HSG and chromolaparoscopy. Conclusion: Colour Doppler was as good as roentgenogram HSG in evaluating tubal patency and was potentially safer (idiosyncrasy to the contrast agent cannot be expected). Moreover, Colour Doppler HSG could be performed on an ambulatory basis in infertility centres with good ultrasonographic experience. However, the inability to delineate the inner architecture of the genital canal and to determine the exact location of tubal obstruction, when present, remains the disadvantages of this technique. More extensive studies are necessary before adding this promising method to roentgenogram HSG and chromolaparoscopy in the screening patency in infertile women Recommendation: We support the use of Colour Doppler HSG technique as a routine method of investigation and assessment of female infertility. |
