Abstract |
Objective |
Fertiloscopy is as safe as laparoscopy in literature, but we don’t know its relevance in women with unexplained infertility (UI). Our objective was to assess the effects of fertiloscopy procedures on the outcomes of subsequent pregnancy occurrences in patients with UI.
Methods |
Retrospective, single-center study of all patients followed up after fertiloscopy procedures between 2002 and 2007. The occurrence and outcome of pregnancies were studied in the five years following the procedure.
Results |
124 fertiloscopies were performed. Pelvic exploration was considered as sufficient in 83.8% of cases, of which no abnormalities were found in 78.2%. Laparoconversions occurred for 19 patients (16.5%). The pregnancy rate at five years was 76.9%. The mean delay for pregnancy occurrence was 10.7 months (±17).
Conclusion |
The pregnancy rate in our study is similar to that after laparoscopy. Fertiloscopy, a less intrusive procedure, should be considered as a reliable option for the management of patients with UI.
