Some prefer performing laparoscopy if other diagnostic tests fail to identify an apparent aetiological factor, whereas some prefer performing laparoscopy early. It is generally known that many infertility factors such as endometriosis and pelvic adhesions are best evaluated by laparoscopy2. In this study, we evaluated the laparoscopy results among 113 consecutive women who had primary infertility.\nPreview\nUnable to display preview.
