Several reasons may explain this fact: first of all, the success of IVF and therefore the decreasing of surgical indications especially in tubal surgery and then the fact that, since 1986, egg collection is performed through ultrasonography and so requires no surgical skill. Indeed, it is was a major progress to be able to perform IVF procedure without the need of laparoscopy, but as a consequence, reproductive surgery was progressively abandoned even at the stage of diagnosis. Therefore, today, very frequently, only noninvasive methods like hysterosalpingography (HSG) or ultrasonography are used to assess the normality of the genitalia. Using only nonsurgical method of diagnosis leads to a false-negative rate between 20 and 40 percent, according to the works published. Swart et al. (1) in a meta-analysis found for HSG a point estimate of 0.65 for sensitivity and of 0.83 for specificity and underline the fact that HSG was not suitable for the evaluation of periadnexal adhesions. In contrast, laparoscopy is considered as the gold standard to explore tuboperitoneal infertility. Nevertheless, laparoscopy is often performed without discovering any significant pathology. Unfortunately, laparoscopy presents some risks that can be very serious, as recently shown in the French register of laparoscopic accidents, where six major injuries occurred in diagnostic laparoscopies (2). - Type - Chapter - Information - Infertility and Assisted Reproduction , pp. 70 - 75Publisher: Cambridge University PressPrint publication year: 2008 The accuracy of hysterosalpingography in the diagnosis of tubal pathology: a meta-analysis.
