  ABSTRACT: Method: the study was conducted to analyze the correlation between Fitz Hugh-Curtis syndrome (FHCS) with the occurrence of hydrosalpinx, and the risk for hydrosalpinx occurrence due to FHCS. This observational retrospective study was conducted by reviewing the medical records of 315 infertile women who underwent gynecologic laparoscopy procedure from 2011 to 2016. FHCS was characterized by the presence of perihepatic adhesion between Glisson’s capsule and anterior peritoneum, forming “violin string” appearance, and categorized as a mild, moderate, and severe form. The comparison of the degree of FHCS and hydrosalpinx occurrence was analyzed using χ2 test. The odds ratio was calculated to analyze the risk for hydrosalpinx occurrence in the presence of FHCS. The p-value χ2 = 7.55; p = 0.02). There was a significant difference in hydrosalpinx occurrence between FHCS-positive and-negative group (χ2 = 65.60, p
