title: [Contribution of celioscopy to the diagnosis and treatment of female sterility].
abstract: After having specified the current place of celioscopy in the study of female sterility, the authors try to specify, with the use of a short personal series of 64 cases and a large review of the literature, the diagnostic and therapeutic advantage of celioscopy. It is a particularly performing examination for the etiological diagnosis of tubal and peritoneal sterilities, contradicting sometimes the data provided by hysterography. In their experience, it enables to offer a suitable therapeutic strategy in 81% of the cases, whether it is abstention, medical treatment, immediate surgical treatment (per celioscopy, laser or laparotomy) or secondary surgical treatment. Thus, the authors obtain 48 pregnancies in 35 patients (60%). Although it concerns a subjective element, the relationship between celioscopy and the occurrence of pregnancy is discussed.
