Hi,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic .

Before doing IVF we need to study the uterus and cervix and also tube patency.

For this laparoscopy is used but it can be replaced by hysterosalpingo graphy. This gives same results and is less costlier and small opd procedure.

Here dye is injected through vagina and x-ray taken. This will give clear idea of uterus lining and tubes. With this you can proceed for IVF. No extra benefit of laparoscopy Is there.

Hope I have been helpful .

Regards
Dr.Deepika Patil
