Hysteroscopic metroplasty effectively treats septate uterus, improving pregnancy and birth rates, especially for women with prior miscarriages. This safe procedure offers a successful alternative to abdominal metroplasty.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Gynecology

Background:

  • Septate uterus is a common uterine anomaly associated with reproductive issues.
  • Previous treatments for septate uterus, such as abdominal metroplasty, are invasive.
  • Hysteroscopic metroplasty offers a less invasive approach to correct uterine septa.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of hysteroscopic metroplasty for treating septate uterus.
  • To assess the reproductive outcomes following hysteroscopic metroplasty in patients with a history of miscarriage or infertility.

Main Methods:

  • Forty patients with septate uterus underwent hysteroscopic metroplasty using a Hamou resectoscope and sorbitol-mannitol solution.
  • Surgical procedures were monitored for intraoperative and postoperative complications.

  • Reproductive outcomes, including pregnancy and birth rates, were evaluated post-procedure.

    • Main Results:

    • Excellent surgical outcomes were achieved with no intraoperative or postoperative morbidity.
    • The uterine cavity showed complete epithelialization without adhesions within 40-60 days.
    • The cumulative pregnancy and birth rates were 73% and 86%, respectively, in the evaluated patients.
    • Patients with a history of miscarriage had significantly higher pregnancy and birth rates (88% and 91%) compared to infertile patients (44% and 75%).

    Conclusions:

    • Hysteroscopic metroplasty is a highly successful, safe, and simple procedure for septate uterus.
    • The procedure significantly improves reproductive outcomes, particularly in patients with a history of miscarriage.
    • While not a cure for infertility, hysteroscopic metroplasty can prevent subsequent miscarriages in infertile patients and is a viable alternative to abdominal metroplasty.
