Falloscopy (falloposcopy)
The falloscopy procedure is used to examine the inside of the Fallopian tube. Falloscopy is rarely requested and is usually performed under a general anesthetic as a day case procedure. Falloscopy can be performed at the time of laparoscopy, when a fine fibre-optic telescope is inserted through the mouth of each tube. Alternatively the fibre-optic telescope can be inserted through the vagina and cervix into the uterus. The entrance of each Fallopian tube is then identified and the telescope is then passed into each tube in turn.
