This study is a retrospective review of the transcervical fluoroscopy-guided fallopian tube recanalisation (FTR) procedures done in a multi-ethnic south-east Asian population, over 9 years. A total of 100 patients with infertility and documented proximal tubal obstruction (PTO) were referred for FTR. On-table hysterosalpingography under sedation demonstrated true PTO in 96 patients. At selective-salpingography, the PTO cleared in 16 patients; 78 required FTR and two had fimbrial blockage. The technical success rate of FTR was 86.8% and the post-FTR pregnancy rate was 36.84% at a mean follow-up interval of 12.2 months. There were no major, immediate procedure-related complications. There was an ectopic pregnancy in a single treated patient. Fluoroscopy-guided FTR is a safe treatment option in patients with infertility from PTO, with high technical success rate, low complication rate and increased chances of pregnancy; therefore it should be preferred before attempting more expensive and resource-intensive procedures.
