Abstract
Fertiloscopy is performed as an ambulatory technique. There are five steps in this procedure: hydropelviscopy, dye test, salpingoscopy, microsalpingoscopy, and hysteroscopy. One of the prerequisite of operative fertiloscopy was to be as effective as the same procedure practiced during laparoscopy. Compared to laparoscopy, fertiloscopy has also some advantages like the facility to perform salpingoscopy and microsalpingoscopy. Fertiloscopy was first designed to avoid diagnostic laparoscopy. Operative possibilities were developed later. The complication rate is low, almost always avoidable if contraindications are strictly respected. Endometriosis may also be treated by operative fertiloscopy, when minimal or moderate. If the lesions are extensive or severe, then laparoscopy has to be the preferred option. Some techniques like fertiloscopic ovarian drilling in polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) patients have already demonstrated its interest in the pregnancy rate obtained without the risks of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS).
