This article describes the use of the fallopotorque catheter system for transcervical selective salpingography and tubal catheterization under fluoroscopic guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of obstruction of the proximal Fallopian tube. The technique of tubal perfusion pressure assessment during the procedure, using the same catheter system, is also described. The relative advantages of this method of selective salpingography and tubal catheterization are then discussed in the background of previously described techniques.

Background: T-shaped uterus is a subclass of dysmorphic uteri according to the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) classification. A T-shaped uterus might be related to poor reproductive outcomes or pregnancy complications. We aim to compare the success rates of fertilization (IVF) between individuals with a normal uterus and those with a T-shaped uterus identified through Hysterosalpingography.

To describe the feasibility of our preliminary outpatient fallopian tube catheterization procedure under 3D vaginal ultrasound (US) guidance followed by highly selective hysterosalpingo-foam sonography (HyFoSy) in infertile women diagnosed with proximal tubal obstruction.A prospective trial was conducted from October 2022 to December 2023. 3D vaginal US was used to establish the precise location of the tip of the selective salpingography catheter at the tubal ostium.

Study Question: Is virtual reality (VR) an effective non-pharmacological tool to reduce procedural pain during hysterosalpingography (HSG)?

Summary Answer: An HSG with VR does not reduce procedural pain scores compared to an HSG without VR.

What Is Known Already: An HSG is often experienced as painful and uncomfortable. VR has been proven successful to reduce acute procedural pain during a variety of medical procedures and interventions.
