| Popis: | A total of 323 women of reproductive age (19-40 years) were submitted to a complete investigation of infertility routinely including hysterosalpingography and hysteroscopy. In 177 cases (54.7%) no pathological conditions were found by either of the applied methods, while in 65 cases (20.1%) similar abnormalities were observed by hysterosalpingography and hysteroscopy with a global correlation of 74.8%. Hysterosalpingography also presented false positive results in 11.7% and false negative ones in 13.3% of all the studied cases. In conclusion, the combined use of these techniques in infertility investigation gives complete and accurate information about the uterine cavity, despite the disadvantages of hysterosalpingography due to false positive and false negative results. |
