    Infertility is defined as a disease of the female or male reproductive system; it is the inability to conceive a child after a year of unprotected sexual intercourse. It constitutes a real public health problem today due to its prevalence, the generalization of its distribution, and the difficulties inherent in its management. According to the World Health Organization, infertility affects 70 million people worldwide, with one in six couples facing primary or secondary infertility. 

    Algeria is not spared from this epidemic, more than 300,000 couples are unable to conceive a child naturally. This statistic translates to, approximately, between 10% and 12% of the targeted population. The main objective of this study is to determine the diagnostic and therapeutic value of laparoscopy in female infertility,

    The methodology: the collection of patients was made over two years from 2021 to 2023, respecting the inclusion criteria (female infertility) and exclusion (any cause of uterine origin, male cause). We note that adhesions are the most frequent lesions, they are present in 44% of cases, tubal pathology is found in 31% of cases, ovarian dystrophy in 25% of cases, endometriosis in 41% of cases, and endometriotic cyst in 21% of cases. 

    The most commonly performed procedure is adhesiolysis in 23% of cases, cystectomy in 21% of cases, 10% fimbrioplasty, and 21% ovarian drilling.
