Abstract
BACKGROUND Infertility is a multidimensional health problem with social and economic consequences. Infertility affects about 10 - 15 % of reproductive age couples. 1 Hysterolaparoscopy is safe and effective method to diagnose infertility. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of diagnostic hysterolaparoscopy in the evaluation of infertility in Chalmeda Anand Rao Institute of Medical Sciences. METHODS A prospective hospital-based study was carried out in Chalmeda Anand Rao Institute of Medical Sciences over a period of 1 year from August 2019 to July 2020. Hysterolaparoscopy was done in 100 patients. Women aged 20 - 40 years with normal hormone profile without male factor infertility were included. RESULTS 100 patients with infertility were undertaken, 70 (70 %) women had primary infertility and the remaining 30 (30 %) had secondary infertility. Ovarian pathology (30 %), endometriosis (23 %), tubal pathology (14 %) and pelvic adhesion (14 %) were the most well-known anomalies recognized in laparoscopy in both primary and secondary infertility. Uterine septum was major intrauterine pathology seen in two gatherings. Out of 12 patients having uterine malformations, most regular uterine malformation in both the gatherings was 9 uterine septum and 2 unicornuate and 1 was hypoplastic uterus. CONCLUSIONS Combined hysterolaparoscopy is a safe, effective, and reliable method in comprehensive evaluation of infertility. It helps in the diagnosis of pelvic pathology which is missed by routine pelvic examinations and basic investigations done for evaluation of infertility. Hysterolaparoscopy gives the added advantage of doing a therapeutic procedure in the same sitting. Thus, hysterolaparoscopy may be considered as gold standard and definitive investigative day-care procedure for evaluation of female infertility. KEY WORDS Hysteroscopy, Infertility, Laparoscopy
