Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the application of transvaginal hydrolaparoscopy for exploration of the pelvic cavity exploration in infertile women. STUDY DESIGN: A total of 510 infertile women were included in this study from May 1st, 2009 to April 30, 2012 in the clinic of the Hebei Research Institute for Family Planning. RESULTS: In 495 of 510 of the patients (97.06%), a successful operation was achieved at the first puncture. Of these 495 patients, 286 (57.78%) showed bilateral patency. Completely normal tubo-ovarian and pelvic structures were observed only in 79 patients (15.96%): 16 patients (3.23%) had bilateral tube obstruction, 18 (3.64%) had hydrosalpinx, and 8 (1.62%) had fimbrial stenosis. Pelvic abnormalities occurred in 240 patients (44.04%), including bilateral and/or unilateral tubo-ovarian adhesions in 80 patients (16.16%) and 160 (32.32%) found with adhesions in other parts of the pelvic cavity. Pelvic endometriosis was found in 82 patients (16.57%) and 19 (3.84%) had two or more lesions in the pelvic cavity. In addition, 9 cases (1.82%) of ovarian cysts, 7 (1.41%) of bilateral vesicular appendices and 43 cases (6.69%) of a unilateral vesicular appendix were observed. In addition, convoluted tubes such as bent or twisted tubes were found in 4 cases of bilateral fallopian tube occlusion patients (0.81%) and 17 cases of unilateral tubal occlusion patients (3.43%). CONCLUSIONS: Transvaginal hydrolaparoscopy is a feasible, safe, and cost-effective microinvasive technique. This technique can be considered as an alternative procedure for evaluating female infertility.
