Microlaparoscopy for Infertility in the Office

Infertility remains a problem of significant magnitude today. In that a major life function, the ability to biologically reproduce, is compromised, this disease represents a major disability to those affected. Moreover, significant secondary psychological trauma often results. Current surveys estimate that approximately 10% of the U.S. population suffer from infertility.1 One of the major etiologic factors in infertility is a pelvic abnormality resulting in tubal blockage. Tubal factor infertility is estimated to be present in 30–40% of women with infertility.2,3 Salpingitis, endometriosis, and postoperative adhesions remain the primary causes.3 Preview Unable to display preview.
