An assessment of hysterosalpingosonography (HSSG) as a diagnostic tool for uterine cavity defects and tubal patency.

The value of hysterosalpingosonography (HSSG) as a diagnostic tool was evaluated in 76 patients and compared to hysteroscopic, laparoscopic, and/or hysterosalpingographic (HSG) findings. Saline solution and Dextran 60 were used as distension media. Patients were divided in three groups: group A (n = 22), patients submitted for control post-tubal electrocoagulation. Group B (n = 38), patients with a history of pathological metrorrhagias, and group C (n = 16) infertile women with possible tubal pathology. Comparison between the different diagnostic techniques for the evaluation of the uterine cavity and tubes was carried out. Our results indicated that HSSG had more sensitivity but less specificity than hysteroscopy or HSG in the diagnosis of uterine cavity pathology. Hysteroscopy seems to be the best technique for the diagnosis of endometrial pathology, and HSSG seems to be the most effective in the study of the myometrium. HSSG cannot be considered a reliable and accurate method for the diagnosis of tubal patency.

Arterial umbilical cord as tubal replacement. A preliminary report.

In ten white New Zealand rabbits a one cm long human arterial cord graft was transplanted after resection of 0,5 cm of isthmus by microsurgical technique. The umbilical artery was previously prepared under microscope and treated for suppression of cord antigens. After two episodes of mating, no pregnancies were observed in the operated side, but total patency was demonstrated in 2 case (20%) and only distal occlusion in 2 more (20%). In 4 cases (40%) the growth of mucosa by apocrine metaplasia was histologically observed and in 5 cases (50%) the presence of foreign body reaction was detected. The hystological findings are presented and the results discussed.
