[Falloposcopy for preoperative evaluation before microsurgery].
In order to optimize the preoperative evaluation prior to microsurgery falloposcopy was performed in 105 patients using the Imagyn-System. In 28% of the patients the indication for operative intervention was confirmed. The pregnancy rate in the group of patients with normal falloposcopy pattern was 69% whereas a rate of only 17% was registered in patients with intratubal pathology. The rate of ectopic pregnancies was 2%. We conclude that the preoperative use of falloposcopy will be beneficial during evaluation of microsurgery candidates.
