Abstract
Our experience with laparoscopy as the primary means of assessment of the female genital tract is described in 279 women attending a subfertility clinic. Thirty‐two per cent of patients with primary infertility and 60 per cent of patients with secondary infertility had significant pelvic disease. We feel that laparoscopy should replace other methods for the routine primary assessment of the genital tract in subfertile women.Keywords
