Laparoscopy Supports Implementation of Primary Infertility Diagnosis and Treatment: Case Reports

Abstract

Background: Infertility is defined as conception failure in couples who have had sexual activity without regular contraception for one year and are still not pregnant. Abnormalities in the fallopian tube have the highest percentage of 30-45% as a cause of infertility. Hydrosalping is a condition where one or both fallopian tubes have fluid-containing clots and is the cause of 25–30% of all infertility cases. The condition of the fallopian tube and its patency can be detected with a hysterosalpingogram (HSG). Although a HSG examination can give a picture of the uterine cavity and tubes, other abnormalities such as adhesion and endometriosis are sometimes not detected. So, laparoscopy can be used to solve this problem.
Results: We reported that a 27-year-old woman, Para 0, Abortus 0, came to the gynecology department with a major complaint of infertility. At the HSG
examination, an unpatented right fallopian tube was found. So, the patient underwent laparoscopy, but both fallopian tubes were found in a patent state, and there was a tubal attachment on the omentum and a paratuba cyst, so adhesionolysis and cystectomy were performed. It can be concluded that tubal
abnormalities can be detected more clearly with laparoscopy than with HSG.
Conclusions: Laparoscopic is more recommended in cases of primary infertility, but further research to compare or combine these two modalities is
still imperative.
