[Operative fertiloscopy results. About 67 cases].
OBJECTIVE
To assess the impact of operative fertiloscopy on fertility.


METHODS
A retrospective study over a period of 3 years of 67 consecutive patients who received operative fertiloscopy and were followed over an 18 months period.


RESULTS
The patients average age was 34 years (24-42) with a 3-year average infertility duration (1-15). We obtained 34 pregnancies (50.7%) (spontaneous or after intrauterine insemination) with 27 live births (38.8%).


CONCLUSIONS
The operative fertiloscopy seems to give good results. It is reserved for minimal or moderate endometriotic lesions and adhesions. These results must be confirmed by largest prospective controlled studies.
