Prevalencia de obstrucción tubárica mediante histerosalpingografía en el Hospital José Carrasco Arteaga. Período enero 2014 - diciembre 2016

Abstract

BACKGROUND: After the discovery of radiology in 1895, doctors experimented with radiopaque substances in the body's cavities. In 1925, Gandulfo and Ocampo performed hysterosalpingography to obtain information on the female reproductive tract. Nowadays, different means of contrasts have appeared and the technique has been perfected. It is a useful study in the detection of uterine and tubal pathologies. OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of tubal obstruction diagnosed by hysterosalpingography in patients attending the Imaging Area of the José Carrasco Arteaga’s Hospital during the period January 2014-December 2016. METHODS: The present study is descriptive, retrospective whose objective is to determine the prevalence of tubal obstruction diagnosed by hysterosalpingography in patients attending the Imaging Service of José Carrasco Arteaga’s Hospital, in the given period. We will work with the clinical histories of the specified period, this information will be tabulated and analyzed according to the variables in study. USE OF RESULTS: This study will serve as a statistical basis for future research, which will be published in the libraries of the Cuenca’s University and the José Carrasco Arteaga’s Hospital for knowledge of professionals in Imaging, students and related careers. CONCLUSIONS: In our research it was appreciated that, of the 197 reports, 82 were diagnosed with tubal obstruction, of which 39% presented right unilateral occlusion, 25.6% with left unilateral tubal obstruction and 35.4% with bilateral tubal obstruction. It was observed that patients between 35 to 40 years is more frequent tubal obstruction with 46.3%
