What is "falloposcopy"

Falloposcopy (occasionally also falloscopy) is the inspection of the fallopian tubes through a micro- endoscope. The falloposcope is inserted into the tube through its opening in the uterus at the proximal tubal opening via the utero-tubal junction; technically it could also be inserted at the time of abdominal surgery or laparoscopy via the distal fimbriated end.

A distinction is sometimes made between falloposcopy and salpingoscopy (with salpinoscopy being laparascopic.) In some contexts the terms are equated.
