Variety of factors causing sterility and difficulty of pathological mechanisms revealing create necessity of search and improvement of new, more effective methods of diagnostics and treatment for this group of patients. Fallopian and peritoneal factors of sterility are found in about 30% of women suffering from sterility.</p>
<p><strong>Objectives of study. </strong>Estimation of advantages of endovideosurgical examination in patients with tubular-peritoneal factor of sterility</p>
<p><strong>Material and methods. </strong>We have examined and treated 210 women with sterility using endovideosurgical technologies. Endosurgical operations were performed at the second phase of menstrual cycle and comprised two stages - the diagnostic one and treatment itself. In order to determine uterine tubes patency, intraoperative chromosalpingography was performed. The operation was completed by leaving the microirrigator in small pelvis for subsequent injections of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory medications.</p>
<p><strong>Results of study. </strong>As a result of performed study, 35 (16,6%) patients showed irreversible anatomical changes of uterine and appendages and diffused comis- sures. There were performed comissures removal with mobilization of uterine tubes and ovaries. These patients were prepared for extracorporeal fertilization. In 56 (26,7%) patients, uterine tubes patency was intact, of those 30 (53,5%) had sclerocystosis of ovaries, 11 (19,6%) - small forms of external endometriosis; varication in small pelvis was found in 7 (12,6%) patients, subserous hysteromyoma - in 8 (14,3%). In case of sclerocystosis of ovaries, both ovaries were exsected, in case of endometriosis, coagulation of focuses and adhesiotomy were performed and in case of subserous hysteromyoma enucleation of nodes with bed coagulation was carried out. In 119 (56,7%) of examined patients, tubular factor of sterility was diagnosed, of those 45 (37,8%) had significant obstruction of either one or both fallopian tubes, in 48 (40,3%) the tubes were obstructed in ampullar part (hydrosalpinx) and in 26 (21,8%) of women the combination of tubular factor with pathological changes of ovaries and adhesions in small pelvis was observed. Depending on revealed changes, either lysis of peritubal and periovarial comissures or mobilization of fallopian tubes, or their bougienage, or biopsy of ovaries, or their resection or decortication was performed. Besides, comparison chromosalpingography was performed allowing controlling the passage of contrast through uterine tubes. Intraoperative biopsy of ovaries allowed studying their morphological condition and hormonal status.</p>
<p><strong>Resume. </strong>Development and implementation of laparoscopic surgery into medical practice has significantly improved identification of causes and underlying mechanisms of female sterility as well as made routine everyday usage of microinvasive surgery for treatment of pathology of reproductive system.</p>
