[Surgical treatment of symmetrically developed uterine abnormalities].
Retrospectively 75 patients having undergone metroplasty for symmetric uterine anomalies were analysed. The main indication for operation was recurrent abortions and preterm deliveries (63 women) and primary sterility (12). Adnexal pathology which required microsurgical repair was present in 52 (57%) patients. The most frequent uterine malformations were uterus septus and subseptus (51), uterus bicornis (23) and uterus arcuatus (1). All metroplasties were performed according to the Bret-Palmer technique modified by authors. Indication for metroplasty was based on hysterosalpingography, laparoscopy and hysteroscopy in doubtful cases. Prior to metroplasty, 63 patients had 189 spontaneous abortions and 6 preterm deliveries without a living child, while 12 patients were primarily sterile. After operation 68 (90.4%) patients became pregnant and 65 (86.6%) of them delivered 92 healthy children. Pregnancy in 3 (4.0%) patients ended with repeated spontaneous abortions, while 7 (9.4%) remained sterile.
