Selective hysterosalpingography combined with transcervical fallopian tube catheterization allows both precise diagnosis and non-surgical correction of proximal tubal occlusion, distinguishing true anatomical obstruction from tubal spasm or mucous plugging. In NaProTECHNOLOGY practice, this minimally invasive approach restores tubal patency without laparotomy, preserving natural conception potential in appropriately selected patients.
