Laparoscopy and the infertility evaluation
Obstetrics and Gynecology
|April 1, 1976
Abstract:
Results of laparoscopic evaluation of 112 infertile women are presented. Laparoscopy performed prior to comtemplated fallopian tube reconstructive surgery changed the plan of management of 41% of 44 cases. Of 64 women with a normal hysterogram, 58% were found to have evidence of pelvic disease, and 47% had changes in their management based on the findings at laparoscopy. The specific indications and timing of laparoscopy in relation to the remainder of the infertility evaluation are discussed.
