Abstract

Objective: To investigate the impact of hysteroscopic metroplasty on pregnancy outcome in women with complete or incomplete uterine septum (US) accompanying infertility. Materials and Methods: Seventy-three patients who had hysteroscopic metroplasty for complete and incomplete US with primary and secondary infertility were reviewed. Obstetric outcomes (number of pregnancies, live births, and miscarriages) up to 36 months follow up period were investigated. Results: Twenty-five patients in complete US and 28 patients in incomplete US became pregnant in 36 months follow up. Postoperative miscarriage rate was significantly lower in patients with complete US (p = 0.0001, p = 0.0001, respectively). The mean gestational week at the time of birth and mean birth weight of the infants were significantly lower in patients with complete US compared to the incomplete US cases (p = 0.026, p = 0.049, respectively). Postoperative pregnancy rate was significantly lower in incomplete US patients with primary infertility compared with secondary infertility (p = 0.037). Conclusion: Hysteroscopic metroplasty improves fertility and pregnancy performance. This improvement is more prominent in patients with complete US, and incomplete US patients with secondary infertility.
