[Comparison between hysterosalpingographic findings and lesions observed by laparoscopy and laparotomy (author's transl)]. : Vergleich zwischen Hysterosalpingographie, Laparoskopie und Laparotomie.

• Laparoscopy and/or laparotomy had been performed in 91 patients also examined by hysterosalpingography (HSG) during two years. The comparison of the radiological and the operative findings shows, that total occlusion and hydrosalpinx are radiological signs of adhesions in the pelvis. A depot of contrast medium remaining around the fimbriated end of the oviduct is also a sign of adhesions. More than half of the patients with adhesions surrounding the oviducts and/or endometriosis had however normal hysterosalpingograms. Thus, the radiological examination, hysterosalpingography, has a low sensitivity rate concerning pelvic abnormalities.
