Study objective: To assess the feasibility of routine salpingoscopy and microsalpingoscopy by the vaginal route during fertiloscopy.
Design: Retrospective continuous series (Canadian Task Force classification II-2).
Setting: Private reproductive center.
Patients: Five hundred infertile women with no obvious pathology. INTERVENTIONS; Fertiloscopy with salpingoscopy followed by microsalpingoscopy.
Measurements and main results: Salpingoscopy was possible in 85% of women. In those with no pathology, only 8.2% had abnormal salpingoscopy but 37% had abnormal microsalpingoscopy.
Conclusion: Fertiloscopy allows salpingoscopy and microsalpingoscopy to be performed in a reproducible and simple manner. Thus intratubal exploration should be integral to infertility assessment.
