Two-dimensional hysterosalpingo-contrast-sonography compared to three/four-dimensional hysterosalpingo-contrast-sonography for the assessment of tubal occlusion in women with infertility/subfertility: a systematic review with meta-analysis

Juan Luis Alcazar et al.

Summary: This meta-analysis aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of 2D- and 3D/4D-HyCoSy for assessing tubal occlusion in women with infertility. The results showed that both methods had similar diagnostic performance.

Evaluating Fallopian Tube Patency: What the Radiologist Needs to Know

Maria Grigovich et al.

Summary: Impaired tubal patency is a significant factor in cases of subfertility and infertility, with HSG being the reference standard for evaluating fallopian tube patency. Despite its association with ionizing radiation, HSG plays a crucial role in assisting individuals with a higher chance of non-in vitro fertilization pregnancies.

Hysteroscopy for Assessing Fallopian Tubal Obstruction: A Systematic Review and Diagnostic Test Accuracy Meta-analysis

Salvatore Giovanni Vitale et al.

Summary: Hysteroscopic techniques are highly accurate and sensitive for detecting fallopian tubal obstruction. Interventional assessment enhances diagnostic accuracy compared with observational assessment, as does the office setting compared with the operating room.

Feasibility, tolerability, and safety of hysterosalpingo-foam sonography (hyfosy). multicenter, prospective Spanish study

V Engels et al.

Summary: This study conducted ultrasound assessment of tubal patency using foam as contrast in 915 infertile nulliparous women, proving HYFOSY to be a feasible, well-tolerated, and safe technique. Pain during the procedure was unrelated to tubal patency or blockage, making it suitable for evaluation of tubal patency.

Diagnosis and Management of Infertility A Review

Sandra Ann Carson et al.

Summary: Approximately 12.7% of reproductive age women in the US seek treatment for infertility each year. Infertility is defined as failure to achieve pregnancy after 12 months of regular unprotected sexual intercourse. Lifestyle factors like smoking and obesity can adversely affect fertility. Ovulatory disorders and male factor infertility are common causes, with polycystic ovary syndrome and unexplained infertility also prevalent. Various treatment options are available, including ovulation induction and in vitro fertilization (IVF), with age being a significant factor in decision-making.
