Falloposcopy

Falloposcopy is a specific procedure that allows direct inspection, biopsy, and intraluminal therapy of the human fallopian tube. The procedure is performed with a device called a falloposcope.

History

The concept of falloposcopy was first introduced by Kerin et al. in 1987. The procedure was developed as a method to evaluate the fallopian tubes in infertile women.

Procedure

The falloposcope is inserted through the cervix, into the uterus, and then into the fallopian tubes. The procedure allows for direct visualization of the inside of the fallopian tubes, which can help identify any abnormalities or blockages that may be causing infertility.

Indications

Falloposcopy is indicated for women who have unexplained infertility, or when other diagnostic tests have not been able to identify the cause of infertility. It may also be used in cases of suspected tubal disease.

Risks

As with any procedure, there are risks associated with falloposcopy. These may include infection, bleeding, and damage to the fallopian tubes.
