OBJECTIVE To evaluate tubal patency by transvaginal sonosalpingography. METHODS Comparative study of transvaginal sonosalpingography with chromolaparoscopy in subjects with unknown tubal function. METHODS Outpatient infertility clinic at Zeynep Kamil Maternity Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey. METHODS Forty-two cases of unknown tubal function with infertility complaints were included. METHODS Isotonic saline was injected into the uterine cavity through a catheter. METHODS Transvaginal sonosalpingography is a safe, easy, and cost-effective procedure for screening tubal status. RESULTS The results obtained from transvaginal sonosalpingography and laparoscopy were completely consistent for 29 cases (76.32%) and partially consistent for 8 cases (21.05%). Transvaginal sonosalpingography accurately showed patency in 26 patients and bilateral nonpatency in 3 patients. CONCLUSIONS Transvaginal sonosalpingography, with its accuracy and safety, is a promising screening and diagnostic technique in the evaluation of tubal patency on ambulatory basis.
