“…This helped us achieve a 100% technical success rate in clearing proximal fallopian tube obstructions. This compares very favourably with other studies, in which the technical success rate ranged between 25% and 87%, albeit under slightly different settings …”

“…The roadmap technique was also used in some cases to facilitate engagement of the obstructed tubes. These capabilities were not present in the fluoroscopy machines used by previous studies . Furthermore, all procedures were performed under the supervision of experienced interventional radiologists.…”

“…Proximal obstruction occurs in 10%–25% of women with infertility or subfertility related to tubal obstruction (Honoré et al , 1999). Determination of the prevalence of proximal tubal obstruction is challenging because there is a higher rate of false diagnoses on pathological examination of the fallopian tubes by hysterosalpingography than by selective salpingography (Cobellis et al , 2012).…”

Purpose This paper aims to summarize the radiological interventions that can be used by obstetricians and gynecologists. Design/methodology/approach E-health systems apply in all hospital sectors in the world; interventional radiology (IR) now includes transcatheter and percutaneous techniques that can be applied to various organ systems, including the female reproductive system and pelvis. Interventional radiologists can now offer many services to obstetricians and gynecologists. With the advent of new procedures and refinement of existing techniques, there are now a number of procedures that can be used to treat both vascular and non-vascular diseases. This review summarizes the radiological interventions that can be used by obstetricians and gynecologists. Findings This review is intended to help gynecologists and obstetricians understand the role of IR in their specialty. Many valuable vascular and nonvascular interventional services can be provided by radiologists for both obstetric and gynecological indications. Many of these IR procedures are minimally invasive with less risk to the patients. Originality/value IR is now being used to treat some conditions encountered in obstetrics and gynecology, in particular, uterine leiomyomas, placenta accreta, postpartum hemorrhage and pelvic congestion syndrome. Moreover, with the help of IR, radiologists can also manage several nonvascular pathologies, including drainage of pelvic abscesses, fallopian tube recanalization, image-guided biopsy and fluid collections involving ovarian lesions. The major challenges faced when performing obstetric IR procedures are reduction of radiation exposure for the patient and fetus and preservation of fertility. This review highlights the role of IR in the treatment of various vascular and nonvascular pathologies encountered in obstetrics and gynecology.

“…Since the first report on the value of salpingoscopy at the time of microsurgery [14], there has been increasing interest in salpingoscopy and improved salpingoscopic techniques to detect intraluminal lesions [15,16]. Now, salpingoscopy is an important tool for detecting mucosal abnormalities, and for eventually referring patients for assisted reproductive technology.…”

Purpose of investigation: To assess the preliminary results of tubal surgery and its effect on pregnancy outcome. Materials and Methods: The study included 440 patients with unilateral or bilateral tubal disease as the only cause of the infertility. All patients undergoing a laparoscopy for infertility were studied in reproductive surgery centre. The fallopian tube was classified into class I-IV. The studied outcomes were live birth, ectopic pregnancy, and miscarriage. After 12 months, cumulative conception rate was calculated. Results: In the 440 patients, 172 patients with mild salpinx abnormality (class I) had a 34% cumulative pregnancy rate, 151 patients with moderate salpinx abnormality (class II) had a 16% cumulative pregnancy rate, and 77 patients with severe salpinx abnormality (class III) had a 10% cumulative pregnancy rate. No intrauterine pregnancies were observed in the severe group of 40 patients (class IV). Conclusion: Surgical laparoscopy is helpful for class I and II tubal abnormality, while it is not for class III and IV abnormalities.
