Hysteroscopic surgery effectively restored uterine cavity appearance in 82% of patients, leading to a 35% postoperative pregnancy rate. This highlights the procedure

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Gynecologic Surgery
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Uterine abnormalities like synechiae, septa, fibroids, and polyps can impact fertility.
  • Hysteroscopic surgery offers a minimally invasive approach to correct these intrauterine pathologies.
  • Evaluating the effectiveness of hysteroscopic surgery on uterine cavity restoration and subsequent pregnancy rates is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the pre- and postoperative appearance of the uterine cavity using hysterosalpingography (HSG) after hysteroscopic surgery.
  • To determine the postoperative pregnancy rates in patients who underwent hysteroscopic procedures for infertility.
  • To correlate the extent of uterine cavity restoration with pregnancy outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 28 patients undergoing hysteroscopic surgery for uterine abnormalities.

  • Pre- and postoperative hysterosalpingography (HSG) imaging to evaluate uterine cavity appearance.
  • Recording of uterine abnormalities, surgical outcomes, and pregnancy rates.

    • Main Results:

    • Uterine cavity appearance was normalized in 82% (23/28) of patients post-surgery.
    • Complete normalization occurred in all patients after submucosal fibroid resection.
    • A 35% postoperative pregnancy rate was observed in patients followed for over 6 months, with successful pregnancies predominantly in those with secondary infertility and improved uterine cavity appearance.

    Conclusions:

    • Hysteroscopic surgery is effective in restoring normal uterine cavity appearance in most patients with infertility-related abnormalities.
    • Successful restoration of the uterine cavity is associated with a significant postoperative pregnancy rate.
    • While generally safe, potential complications like adhesions or scarring should be considered, alongside rare events like uterine perforation.
