Fertiloscopy enables routine vaginal salpingoscopy and microsalpingoscopy for infertility assessment. This intratubal exploration is simple, reproducible, and should be integrated into standard infertility evaluations.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Minimally Invasive Gynecological Surgery

Background:

  • Infertility affects a significant portion of the population.
  • Accurate assessment of fallopian tube patency and health is crucial for successful fertility treatments.
  • Current methods for tubal assessment can be invasive or lack detailed visualization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility of performing routine salpingoscopy and microsalpingoscopy via the vaginal route during fertiloscopy.
  • To determine the diagnostic yield of these procedures in infertile women.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective study of 500 infertile women undergoing fertiloscopy with integrated salpingoscopy and microsalpingoscopy.
  • Procedures were performed in a private reproductive center.
  • Canadian Task Force classification II-2 study design.

Main Results:

  • Salpingoscopy was successfully performed in 85% of women.
  • In women with no apparent pathology, 8.2% showed abnormal salpingoscopy findings.
  • A higher rate of abnormalities (37%) was detected with microsalpingoscopy in the same patient group.

Conclusions:

  • Fertiloscopy provides a feasible, reproducible, and simple method for performing vaginal salpingoscopy and microsalpingoscopy.
  • Intratubal exploration using these techniques should be considered an integral part of the infertility diagnostic workup.
  • Microsalpingoscopy offers enhanced diagnostic capability for subtle tubal pathologies.
