摘要
Purpose of review The investigation of the infertile couple is currently a highly debated issue. The purpose is to review whether transvaginal hydrolaparoscopy in combination with mini-hysteroscopy and chromopertubation can be offered as a one-stop infertility investigation. Recent findings The technique is based on the direct visualization of the reproductive organs and the presence of tubal patency, and has been clinically validated during the past year for its accuracy, safety and patient tolerance. Summary Further prospective randomized studies are required to prove the superiority of transvaginal hydrolaparoscopy in comparison with hysterosalpingography as a first-line investigation in predicting the fertility outcome.
