Fertiloscopy is the name given to a minimally-invasive technique for investigating female infertility. It may be performed as an alternative to, or as well as, diagnostic laparoscopy.
Approach
Fertiloscopy uses a minamilly-invasive trans-vaginal approach to the pelvic organs. Firstly, a small puncture of the posterior vaginal fomix allows the instillation of saline solution into the pelvic cavity. A telescope is then introduced into the cavity via the same route. The presence of the instilled fluid allows a detailed, "underwater" examination of the pelvic organs (hydrolaparoscopy).
Procedure
Fertiloscopy will usally combine the following diagnostic procedures : hydrolaparoscopy, dye test, salpingoscopy, microsalpingoscopy (all via the above approach) and hysteroscopy (using the same endoscope).
Operative fertiloscopy can be performed : fertiloscopy is thus extended to include a therapeutic procedure (adhesiolysis, ovarian drilling).
Fertiloscopy
This technique was developped by Dr. Antoine Watrelot at the CRES, Lyon, France.
