Septate uterus: reproductive outcome after hysteroscopic metroplasty
1Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, University of Rome La Sapienza, Rome, Italy.
Objective:
To evaluate hysteroscopic metroplasty and its effect on reproductive outcome.
Study Design:
Seventy-five patients consulted for uterine septum between January 1996 to December 2000 at "La Sapienza" University in Rome were included in the study.
Results:
Forty patients attempted pregnancy and a total of 30 spontaneous pregnancies resulted (75% pregnancy rate). The uterine cavity was normal at hysteroscopic follow-up in 68% of cases.
Conclusion:
Correction of uterine septum improves pregnancy outcome of patients. Broadening the indications for hysteroscopic metroplasty should be encouraged for patients who desire to conceive.
