Septate uterus: reproductive outcome after hysteroscopic metroplasty. [Journal Article]
Clin Exp Obstet Gynecol 2006; 33(2):110-2.
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.
