Materials and methods: Retrospective study over a period of eight years including the patients presenting infertility without pathology raising of an evident surgical indication. We analyzed the perioperative data, the results as well as the complications of this intervention.
Results: One hundred and eighty-eight fertiloscopic procedures succeeded (84%). For 84 patients (37.6%) we realized a coelioscopy. In 44% for failure of the exam and in 66% for lesions found in the fertiloscopy and requiring surgery. Two complications without major consequence will be deplored: two rectal injuries.
