METHOD OF ESTIMATING UTERINE TUBE PATENCY Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC A61B1/313 A61B17/42 A61K49/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to field of medicine, namely to diagnostics. In order to estimate uterine tube patency chromosalpingoscopy during laparoscopy and visual assessment of uterine tube state and patency are performed. During chromosalpingoscopy determined are: rate of liquid dye passage along uterine tube, type of outflowing liquid dye and degree of uterine tube patency. Uterine tube patency is determined by point system: 5 points - liquid enters pelvis minor by tube 1-3 seconds after introduction by free wide flow through free fimbriae; 4 points - liquid enters pelvis minor after 2-5 seconds in form of stream; 3 points - liquid enters pelvis minor with 5-10 second delay, and uterine tube considerably expands and liquid is released in fast large drops; 2 points - liquid is released in slow drops after considerable delay or dye reintroduction; 1 point - liquid soaks through fimbrial part of tube; 0 points - liquid does not enter pelvis minor at all, fimbrial part of tube is not formed, expressed adhesive process is observed.

EFFECT: method increases accuracy of diagnostics due to quantitative estimation of degree of uterine tube patency.
