Study of hysterosalpingography and fallopian tube recanalization in evaluation and treatment of infertile female in tertiary care center: prospective observational study

Background Infertility affects about 10-15% of couples, with tubal factors contributing to nearly one-third of female infertility cases. HSG remains the first-line imaging modality for evaluating uterine and tubal pathology, while FTR provides a minimally invasive treatment for proximal tubal block.

Methods This prospective cross-sectional observational study was conducted in the department of obstetrics and gynecology, Government Medical College, Nagpur, over 18 months (January 2023-June 2024). Sixty infertile women meeting inclusion criteria were evaluated using HSG. Cases with proximal tubal block were selected for FTR. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 21, with p 0.05).

Conclusions HSG is a simple, reliable, and cost-effective method for initial evaluation of tubal patency. FTR is a safe and effective therapeutic procedure for managing proximal tubal obstruction, improving fertility outcomes, and reducing the need for more invasive interventions.
