Hysterosalpingo Foam Sonography (HyFoSy), is an attractive alternative for tubal patency assessment and diagnosis
in subfertile women or women with known or suspected infertility. 1,2
Laparoscopy: Jacobaeus (1910), Palmer (1947).
First HSG is performed (Carey).
Emergence of ultrasound based techniques with saline infusion sonography (SIS) (Corfman and Taylor).
Introduction of Hysterosalpingo Contrast Sonography (HyCoSy) (Deichert), a patient friendly ultrasound technique. However, the common contrast medium Echovist® (Schering AG, Berlin, Germany) was taken out of market and replaced by saline and air. Saline and air which accuracy is not comparable to HSG, is now the mostly used alternative.6
Introduction of Hysterosalpingo Foam Sonography (HyFoSy) (Exalto and Emanuel), an in-office procedure for tubal patency testing in women with known or suspected infertility or subfertility. ExEm® Foam is the medium used in HyFoSy.
HyFoSy proven accuracy and minimum invasiveness. Studies suggested that, with proper imaging technique, HyFoSy with ExEm® Foam does not significantly differ from laparoscopy with dye and has the ability to achieve significantly higher accuracy than 2D saline and air7.
HyFoSy, the future of tubal patency assessment.
The foam study, a large randomized control study found that HyFoSy leads to similar pregnancy outcomes, compared with HSG as first-choice patency test. Then it also found that HyFoSy is experienced as significantly less painful than HSG.5
HyFoSy proven accuracy and minimum invasiveness. Studies suggested that, with proper imaging technique, HyFoSy with ExEm® Foam does not significantly differ from laparoscopy with dye and has the ability to achieve significantly higher accuracy than 2D saline and air 7 .
