title: Systematic salpingoscopy and microsalpingoscopy during fertiloscopy.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To assess the feasibility of routine salpingoscopy and microsalpingoscopy by the vaginal route during fertiloscopy.
  
  
  METHODS
  Retrospective continuous series (Canadian Task Force classification II-2).
  
  
  METHODS
  Private reproductive center.
  
  
  METHODS
  Five hundred infertile women with no obvious pathology. INTERVENTIONS; Fertiloscopy with salpingoscopy followed by microsalpingoscopy.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Salpingoscopy was possible in 85% of women. In those with no pathology, only 8.2% had abnormal salpingoscopy but 37% had abnormal microsalpingoscopy.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Fertiloscopy allows salpingoscopy and microsalpingoscopy to be performed in a reproducible and simple manner. Thus intratubal exploration should be integral to infertility assessment.
