ABSTRACT
For many years physicians have evaluated Fallopian tubes during laparotomy and using hysterosalpingography. More recently, this approach has shifted to endoscopic evaluation. Endoscopic imaging of the Fallopian tubes is an invasive method whereby distention of the abdominal wall allows proper visualization of the Fallopian tubes, uterus and ovaries. Physicians have consistently sought alternative, less-invasive methods of visualization of the uterine cavity and Fallopian tubes.
