Application of hysteroscopy combined with laparoscopic pelvic exploration in the diagnosis and treatment of primary and secondary infertility
Hysteroscopy combined with laparoscopy revealed that pelvic adhesions and tubal disease are prevalent causes of primary and secondary infertility, with repeated pregnancies significantly increasing the incidence of these conditions.

This study evaluated pelvic findings in 120 women undergoing combined hysteroscopy and laparoscopy for primary or secondary infertility between 2015 and 2017. The researchers identified a high prevalence of pelvic adhesions, particularly among patients with multiple prior pregnancies, and noted that endometriosis was one of several conditions detected during exploration. While tubal recanalization rates were low at approximately 18%, the data indicated that repeated maternity significantly increases the risk of severe pelvic and tubal disease leading to secondary infertility. Relevance to endometriosis: listed as one indication for GnRH antagonists, though the paper's main focus is uterine fibroids.
