Abstract
It is generally accepted that diagnostic laparoscopy is
the gold standard in diagnosing tubal pathology and other
intra-abdominal causes of infertility.
Diagnostic laparoscopy, therefore, is frequently a
standard procedure performed as the final test in the infertility
work up in many clinics before the couple progresses to
infertility treatment.
Some of the abnormalities responsible for infertility
may only be diagnosed by laparoscopy. Laparoscopy is the
definitive means for assessing abnormal pelvic anatomic
relationships. The diagnosis of endometriosis by laparoscopy
remains the gold standard. Laparoscopic evaluation allows a
complete survey of the peritoneal surfaces, biopsy of
suspicious lesions, and even treatment. No other diagnostic
test can approach the utility of laparoscopy in the assessment
of endometriosis.
The number of cases included in analysis in this study
totaled 150 cases. The present study revealed that laparoscopic
findings in unexplained infertile women reveals pelvic
pathology in 74 cases (49.3%) while in 76 cases (50.7%) no
pelvic pathology was found. The pelvic pathologies were pelvic adhesions in 29
cases (19.33%) and endometriosis in 26 cases (17.33%) while
tubal factor was found in 19 cases (12.67%).
