Summary: A comparative study of the findings between hystero‐salpingo‐graphy and laparoscopy on 100 infertile patients over an 18‐month period showed that in 38 the findings differed significantly. In 24 patients with normal hystero‐saipingographic findings the laparoscope demonstrated bilateral tubal disease. Conversely, in 8 patients with abnormal hystero‐saipingographic findings the laparoscope showed normal tubes and patency.
