Reproductive Outcome following Hysteroscopic Monopolar Metroplasty: An Analysis of 203 Cases

BACKGROUND : The aim of this study was to evaluate the reproductive outcome of women with history of infertility or recurrent miscarriage following hysteroscopic septum resection. MATERIALS AND METHODS :This was a retrospective descriptive study performed on 263 patients, among whom 248 patients were infertile (79% with primary infertility and 21% with secondary infertility) and 15 patients p...

HYSTEROSCOPIC METROPLASTY: REPORT OF 76 CASES

Congenital Mullerian abnormalities, particularly the septate uterus, may result in recurrent abortion, premature labor and infertility. The purpose of this study is to report the surgical and reproductive outcome in two groups of patients who underwent hysteroscopic metroplasty (HMP). Between Aug. 1993 and March 1998,76 women underwent HMP in Shiraz University of Medical Sciences' affiliat...

HYSTEROSCOPIC METROPLASTY: SECTION OF THE CERVICAL SEPTUM DOESN\'T IMPAIR REPRODUCTIVE OUTCOME

The purpose of this study was to determine whether sectioning the cervical septum is associated with intraoperative bleeding, incompetent cervix, and secondary infertility. In this prospective observational study, fourteen women with complete septate uterus who had a history of repeated pregnancy loss and infertility were treated hysteroscopically. Preoperative history included 35 pregnanci...

Hysteroscopic metroplasty.

Four patients with reproductive failure associated with uterine septa had transvaginal hysteroscopic metroplasty performed. Two successful pregnancies have occurred and a third patient is now in the second trimester of pregnancy. This method of treatment should replace the traditional open method of surgical repair of these malformations.

Influence of hysteroscopic metroplasty on reproductive outcome in patients with infertility and recurrent pregnancy loss.

INTRODUCTION Patients with congenital uterine anomalies (CUA) have decreased reproductive potential and an unfavourable reproductive outcome compared to the population with normal uterine cavity. Patients with untreated CUA have a higher abortion rate, higher foetal loss rate and decreased live birth rate. Hysteroscopic metroplasty is a standard, safe and minimally invasive method for the treat...
