    Abstract:
    An evaluation of hysteroscopy as complementary study of the sterile couple, was carried out; the hysteroscopic findings were compared with laparoscopic findings, and with Hysterosalpingography (HSG); it was a longitudinal, retrospective study of 20 patients. In the obstetrical antecedents there were 58 gestations, 50 of which ended in abortion. From de five normal cavities by HSG four were for hysteroscopy. As compared with hysteroscopy, HSG detected only 75% of submucous myomas, 85% of walls, 100% of IUD's fragments and of cervical incompetences. In the case of sinechias it was confirmed by hysteroscopy 80% of the diagnosed by HSG. The only case of endometrial polyp was detected by hysteroscopy. Surgical procedures were carried out in 40%, with complications in 16.6%. It was conclude that hysteroscopy is a complementary method, but necessary, in the study of the sterile couple with the possibility at the same time of being a therapeutic method.
