Comparison of Laparoscopy and Hysterosalpingography in Diagnosis of Tubal Occlusion
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 10
Abstract
BACKROUND: Infertility has always been one of the most elusive symptom complexes that perplex the best gynecologists. ‘ OBJECTIVES: To compare hysterosalpingography and laparoscopy in the diagnosis of tubal occlusion in infertile patients. METHODS: 30 Patients of infertility were evaluated prospectively in the Department Of Gynaecology and Obstetrics in Government Lalla Ded Hospital, Srinagar from April 2014to October 2014. The findings of HSG and laparoscopy were compared. RESULTS: The sensitivity of HSG was 90.91% and specificity was 77.78 % with positive predictive value of 83.33% and negative predictive value of 87.50%, when tubal pathology was defined as any form of tubal occlusion detected at laparoscopy, either one sided or two sided. CONCLUSION: HSG demonstrates high sensitivity in our study. So it should be used as the initial investigation for identifying tubal patency. As the specificity is less, we suggest that laparoscopy is necessary to recognize those cases of tubal block which were unrecognized or wrongly recognized on HSG. In addition, the patients who were found to have tubal block on HSG, laparoscopy helps in finding the cause of infertility like existence of peritubal adhesions and endometriosis that can guide appropriate therapy.
