[The importance of laparoscopy in the diagnosis of tubal sterility].

Analyzing the findings in diagnostic laparoscopy the authors describe in details and interpret the results from the examined organs in the pelvis and abdominal cavity. Object of the study are 200 sterile women, admitted to the clinic of Sterility and Gynecological Endocrinology of Research Institute of Obstetrics and Gynecology for examination. The mean age of the patients is 29 years as 128 of the women suffer from primary sterility, but 72--from secondary sterility. The results are summarized and interpreted in 5 groups. Uterine body--form, size, motility, measurements, adhesions, fibrillary apparatus, patency; Ovaries--form, size, position, motility, surface, follicles; Adhesions--type, dimensions, vascularization, position (in the pelvis and abdominal cavity); Data for endometriosis--presence, size and localization of endometriomas, endometriotic cysts and outgrowths, an increased vascular line. The inference, which the authors make, is that laparoscopy is basic (and necessary) current diagnostic method for obtaining real notion for the state of internal genital organs (especially for tubal factor in female sterility) and furthermore also for evaluation of the necessity and possibility for performance of microsurgical reproductive operations.
