Abstract

Transvaginal hydrolaparoscopy (THL) correlates well with standard laparoscopy for evaluation of the cul-de-sac in women with unexplained infertility. Office THL, chromopertubation, and hysteroscopy appear well tolerated, safe, and suitable for most patients, and may be more cost effective than hysterosalpingogram in the infertility work-up. Gynecologic and operative THLs are applicable for selected indications.
