Hidrolaparoscopia transvaginal: optimizando la técnica
This paper presents a modified technique and new instrument for transvaginal hydrolaparoscopy, aiming to improve safe access to the abdominal cavity for infertility diagnosis and treatment.

The paper reviews transvaginal hydrolaparoscopy, originally described in 1998 as an outpatient diagnostic tool for infertile women, and addresses ongoing uncertainty about its safety and diagnostic/treatment effectiveness for pelvic pathologies linked to fertility problems. It notes reported complication rates up to 5%, including rectal perforation, inability to access the abdominal cavity, hematomas, and vaginal bleeding, and then proposes a modification to the original protocol along with a new instrument aimed at enabling safer abdominal access via the cul-de-sac. The authors frame the goal as reducing risk of damage to intraabdominal structures while allowing pelvic inspection for subsequent fertiloscopy or hydrolaparoscopy transvaginal, with limitations implied by the prior literature’s complication concerns. Relevance to endometriosis: the paper is included because hydrolaparoscopy is discussed in the context of pelvic-pain and infertility evaluation where endometriosis is among the conditions addressed, including via referenced work on hydrolaparoscopy for the diagnosis of endometriosis and tubal infertility, though the paper’s main focus is technical optimization of the transvaginal hydrolaparoscopy procedure.
