Abstract
OBJECTIVE
To assess the impact of operative fertiloscopy on fertility.
PATIENTS AND METHODS
A retrospective study over a period of 3 years of 67 consecutive patients who received operative fertiloscopy and were followed over an 18 months period.
RESULTS
The patients average age was 34 years (24-42) with a 3-year average infertility duration (1-15). We obtained 34 pregnancies (50.7%) (spontaneous or after intrauterine insemination) with 27 live births (38.8%).
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION
The operative fertiloscopy seems to give good results. It is reserved for minimal or moderate endometriotic lesions and adhesions. These results must be confirmed by largest prospective controlled studies.
