1 X/89/ C American Aoentgen Ray SOCiety Stephen Karasick1 Saundra Ehrlich Received May 30, 1989; accepted after revision July 13, 1989 I Both authors: Department of Radiology, Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, th St, Philadelphia, PA Address reprint requests to S Karasick The Value of Hysterosalpingography Before Reversal of Sterilization Procedures Involving the Fallopian Tubes Knowledge of the length of the uterine end of the fallopian tube and the presence of tubal adhesions and fistulas is important when surgical reversal is undertaken in patients who have had tubal ligation We retrospectively studied hysterosalpingograms in 127 such patients to determine their value in providing this information The ligation was performed by using the Pomeroy technique in 57 patients Sixty-one patients had bipolar electrocautery, six had Falope rings inserted, and three had Hulka clips applied In all cases, the uterine ends of the tube were visualized to a point of obstruction The sites of occlusion after Pomeroy ligation were midtubal (46%), comual (16%), proximal ampullary (16%), proximal isthmic (14%), and intramural (8%) After the electrocautery procedure, the sites of occlusion were proximal isthmic (45%), intramural (20%), midtubal (19%), comual (15%), and proximal ampullary (1%) When Falope rings and Hulka clips were used, the most frequent site of occlusion was midtubal (50%) Tubal adhesions, consistent with successful occlusion, were detected in 16 patients on the basis of a small confined area of extravasation of contrast material at the site of ligation Tuboperitoneal fistulas, identified by the presence of contrast material spilled from the uterine end of the tube into the peritoneal cavity, were detected in five patients Our results show that hysterosalpingography is a useful technique for determining the status of the uterine end of the fallopian tube after ligation when reversal of ligation is planned AJR 153: , December 1989 Tubal ligation is a popular method of contraception throughout the world; simple ligation of the tube (Pomeroy procedure) is performed most frequently Electrocautery and mechanical banding or crushing techniques are common alternatives There has been an increase in demand for reversal of the ligation, usually by excision of the ligation and reanastomosis Hysterosalpingography (HSG) before reversal of the ligation can be used to assess the length of the uterine end of the tube and to provide information about the uterine cavity, such as the presence of submucous myomas or intrauterine synechiae The length of residual tube, which depends on the type of sterilization procedure used, is a critical factor in tubal reanastomosis If the uterine end of the tube is too short or too long, laparoscopy is needed to assess the uterine and fimbriated portions of the tube for future uterotubal implantation or neosalpingostomy, respectively Tubopenitoneal fistulas may predispose the patient to an ectopic pregnancy in the fimbriated portion of the tube after correction of the ligation A retrospective study was performed to evaluate the uterine end of the fallopian tube on hystemosalpingogmaphy in those patients for whom reversal of sterilization was planned Materials and Methods Between 1982 and 1988, more than 2000 hysterosalpingograms were obtained at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital on infertile outpatients Hysterosalpingography (HSG) was
2 1248 KARASICK AND EHRLICH AJA:153, December 1989 performed by the reproductive endocrinologist during the early proliferative phase of the menstrual cycle All procedures were monitored fluoroscopically and interpreted by a radiologist The HSG studies were all considered by the radiologist to be technically satisfactory because sufficient contrast material showed pointed, not rounded, cornua[1] Poststerilization hysterosalpingograms in 127 patients (254 tubes) were obtained as part of the workup for sterilization reversal We evaluated 114 tubes ligated by the Pomeroy technique, 1 22 by bipolar electrocautery, 12 with Falope rings (Cabot Medical Corp, Langhome, PA), and six with Hulka clips (Richard Wolf Medical Instrument Corp, Rosemont, IL) The HSG was performed with oil-based contrast material (Ethiodol, Savage Laboratories, Melville, NY) Spot radiographs were obtained with the patient in the supine, anteroposterior, and oblique positions The sites of the obstruction were cornual, intramural, proximal isthmic, midtubal (usually at the isthmicampullary junction), and proximal ampullary Thirty-eight Pomeroy ligations were performed in the immediate postpartum period Adhesions, consistent with successful occlusion, were diagnosed at the site of tubal occlusion if a small amount of contrast material extravasation was localized at the tubal ligation site Free spilling of contrast material into the peritoneal cavity from the occlusion site indicated the presence of a tuboperitoneal fistula [2, 3] Results C a 0 C U a SIte of Tubal OcclusIon HSG showed that the sites of occlusion in the 57 patients who had the Pomeroy ligation were midtubal in 26 (46%), comual in nine (1 6%), proximal ampullary in nine (16%), proximal isthmic in eight (1 4%), and intramural in five (8%) However, 17 of 18 tubes visualized to the proximal ampullary region were in patients who had the Pomemoy procedure performed immediately postpartum In 61 tubes that were cauterized, HSG showed that the sites of occlusion were proximal isthmic in 27 (45%), intramural in 12 (20%), midtubal in 12 (1 9%), cornual in nine (1 5%), and proximal ampullary in one (1 %) Of the 18 tubes mechanically banded on crushed (1 2 Falope rings, six Hulka clips), the most frequent site of occlusion was midtubal in nine (50%) (Fig 1) In the group who had Pomeroy ligation, six patients had adhesions and three had tubopenitoneal fistulas at the site of ligation In the group who had tubes cauterized, 10 adhesions and two tuboperitoneal fistulas were seen at the site of cautery Utemme abnormalities such as intrauterine synechiae and submucous myomas were seen in only a few patients Discussion The length of the tube remaining after tubal ligation is significant in the prognosis forfutune pregnancy when reversal of the procedure is attempted [4] In normal tubes, the average length of the extrauterine portion is 11 cm, excluding the intramural portion, which is 1-2 cm long [5] The chances of pregnancy occurring are good if the total tubal length (uterine and fimbrial portions) after ligation is 3-4 cm or more with an intact 1 cm of ampulla and fimbniae [4, 6, 7] This is important information to have before surgery to excise the ligation is attempted If HSG shows a short uterine portion of the tube, theme may be a small amount of functional proximal tube for anastomosis; utemotubal implantation is a less desirable alternative with more postoperative complications Conversely, if on HSG there is a long fimbnial portion of tube, there may be minimal uterine portion available, requiring neosalpingostomy, which has a much lower pregnancy success mate than tubal anastomosis [8] The radiographic appearance of the fallopian tube after ligation varies according to the sterilization method used Approximately half of the 250,000 tubal ligations performed annually in the United States are done by the Pomeroy procedure in the postpartum period [9] In this technique, the fallopian tube is grasped in its midportion, a loop is tied off at its base with absorbable suture, and the loop is excised above the ligature About 3 cm of tube are usually destroyed in this process The most common site of occlusion after the Pomeroy procedure in our study was midtubal (46%); 16% had occlusion in the proximal ampullamy region Bipolar electmocautery has replaced the unipolam metfrod as the most common laparoscopic sterilization procedure This method differs from the unipolam method in the use of openating forceps that contain both the active and the return electrode, allowing the current to pass through only the tissue grasped between the prongs of the forceps and not through the patient s body to a ground plate A bipolar burn is localized and discrete, as opposed to the inherent risks of burns of the Fig 1-Graph of sites of occlusion found on hysterosalpingogramsafter sterilization by Pomeroy (n = 114) and cautery (n = 122) techniques in 118 patients (236 tubes)
