Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the value of combined use of laparoscopy and hysteroscopy in the diagnosis of infertility. Methods Clinical data of 168 cases of infertility receiving examinations with laparoscopy and hysteroscopy from June 1999 to October 2003 were retrospectively reviewed.Results Hysteroscopic examinations found intrauterine diseases in 79 cases(79/168,47.0%),including 46 cases of endometrial hyperplasia or polyps(46/79,58.2%).Laparoscopic examinations showed organic pelvic diseases in 99 cases,including 85 cases of chronic pelvic inflammation,endometriosis or polycystic ovarian syndrome(85/99,85.9%).Both laparoscopy and hysteroscopy gave normal findings in 15 cases and abnormal findings in 39 cases.Unilateral or bilateral tubal obstruction was found in 90 cases by tubal patency tests under hysteroscope(90/168,53.6%) and in 78 cases by laparoscopy(78/168,46.4%). Conclusions Combined use of laparoscopy and hysteroscopy offers accurate diagnostic evidences in examinations of infertility.
