Abstract

Objective: To investigate the diagnostic value of hysterosalpingography (HSG) for intracavitary and structural uterine pathologies in comparison with hysteroscopy (HS) in patients undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection-embryo transfer and also to specify the patients who should be subjected to HS in the early stages of an infertility work-up.
