    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Medicine
    • Gynecological Endoscopy

    Background:

    • Tubal and unexplained infertility affect numerous couples.
    • Accurate assessment of Fallopian tube patency is crucial for diagnosis and treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of falloposcopy for Fallopian tube exploration.
    • To establish the role of falloposcopy in diagnosing infertility in 1996.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review and analysis of personal experience with 145 tubal endoscopies.
    • Assessment of method feasibility, endotubal visualization, and diagnostic contribution.

    Main Results:

    • Successful tubal catheterization achieved in 91% of cases.
    • Accurate visualization of the entire tubal lumen in over 71% of procedures.

  • Complication rate (perforations) of 5%, primarily in pathological tubes.
  • Falloposcopy demonstrated significantly lower false-negative (57%) and false-positive (17%) rates compared to hysterosalpingography/laparoscopy.

    • Conclusions:

    • Falloposcopy is a safe and reproducible diagnostic technique.
    • It offers a more precise direct visualization of the Fallopian tubes than indirect methods like hysterosalpingography and laparoscopy.
