Background:
Combined hysteroscopy and laparoscopy is a valuable method for diagnosing and treating infertility and benign uterine pathology. Both procedures are minimally invasive, reliable, and safe, with a low complication rate.
Aim:
In this review, we expose the efficiency and safety of hysterolaparoscopy in the management of infertility and other benign uterine pathologies.
Method:
We performed a systematic literature review on several databases: PubMed®/MEDLINE, PMC, Crossref.org, and Web of Science in the last 10 years.
Inclusion Criteria:
Women of reproductive age with primary or secondary infertility and/or benign uterine pathology.
Exclusion Criteria:
pre-puberty, menopause, couple with male infertility.
Conclusion:
Hysterolaparoscopy is a useful tool to assess infertility and simultaneously diagnose and treat pelvic and uterine lesions.
