| description | Infertility, defined as failure to achieve pregnancy within 12 months of unprotected intercourse or therapeutic donor insemination in women younger than 35 years or within 6 months in women older than 35 years, affects up to 15% of couples. An infertility evaluation may be offered to any patient who by definition has infertility or is at high risk of infertility. Hysterosalpingography, hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography, saline infusion sonohysterography, hysteroscopy, laparoscopy, and bacteriological and endocrinological examinations that will be made after these studies aim to focus more on the causes of infertility. With the development of assisted reproductive technology, the need for major reproductive surgery, which may be necessary for the primary treatment of infertility, has decreased over the years. Surgical methods are mainly considered as laparoscopic and hysteroscopic techniques. However, laparotomy is also rarely required and may be needed in cases such as adhesions, mass lesions, unsuccessful surgeries, or emergency surgery. When a surgical treatment is planned for infertile patients who required surgery, it is very crucial that the procedure should be performed by experienced surgeons. In this review, pathologies that require surgery for infertility treatment and surgical methods that can be applied to infertile patients were discussed, rather than medical treatments. |
