Laparoscopy in the Diagnosis and the Treatment of Infertility (Analysis of 340 consecutive cases)

Three hundred and jorty patients suffering from primary and secondary infertility were investigated by laparoscopy with the following results. 1. The substantial and most common causes of infertility were related to chronic pelvic inflammatory disease and pelvic endometriosis. 2. Comparison of the result of chromopertubation under direct vision during loparoscy with the preoperative results with hysterosalpingography and phenolphthaline tubal instillation test showed significant difference (P<0.01). In the tubal patent group the compatibility of the results was 90.2% and 79% respectively whereas in the obstructed tubal group the discrepancy between the results was 50.5% and 59% respectively. 3. With the aid of laparoscopic investigation, the underlying cause of infertility could be verified in 97.6% of the patients. In 53.2% of the cases 14 different kinds of operations were performed directly under the laparoscope, while 12.9% of the cases required loparotomy. In 58.5% of the patients laparoscopy was performed in combination with hysteroscopy and 26 operations,consisting of uterine septum resection and intrauterine adhesiolysis were completed undder the monitoring of the loparoscope.
