Role of hysterolaparoscopy For the diagnosis of female Infertility – a one-year hospital Based observational study.

Abstract

Background: Infertility, defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as the inability to conceive after 12 months of unprotected intercourse, affects 10–15% of couples globally. In India, regional prevalence ranges from 3.9% to 16.8%. Female infertility is often multifactorial, involving ovarian, tubal, uterine, and endocrine causes. Although conventional methods like ultrasound and hysterosalpingography are commonly used, they may fail to detect subtle or complex pelvic pathologies. Hysterolaparoscopy, a minimally invasive modality, enables direct visualization and simultaneous management of both intrauterine and pelvic abnormalities. Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic role of hysterolaparoscopy in identifying etiologies of female infertility and to correlate endoscopic findings with clinical characteristics.
