RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to estimate the place and the results of fertiloscopy in the management of female infertility. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospective study over a period of eight years including the patients presenting infertility without pathology raising of an evident surgical indication. We analyzed the perioperative data, the results as well as the complications of this intervention. RESULTS: One hundred and eighty-eight fertiloscopic procedures succeeded (84%). For 84 patients (37.6%) we realized a coelioscopy. In 44% for failure of the exam and in 66% for lesions found in the fertiloscopy and requiring surgery. Two complications without major consequence will be deplored: two rectal injuries. CONCLUSION: Fertiloscopy is a safe and reliable procedure. It can be substituted to laparoscopy in the routine assessment of infertile women management in case of not obvious surgical indication.
