[Surgical hysteroscopy in the treatment of septate uterus: systemic treatment or selective indications].
OBJECTIVE
A retrospective study to evaluate the fertility rate after endoscopic hysteroplasty in the case of a septate uterus.


METHODS
From 1st January 1988-31st December 1996, 93 patients showing a septate uterus were treated by endoscopic hysteroplasty. The hospitalisation is short: one day surgery or out office. A control of uterine cavity by hysteroscopy did next to two months.


RESULTS
Patients were evaluated after a period in excess of 6 months (6 months-8 years). 63 pregnancies were achieved amongst the 84 patients to be reviewed (75%). The fertility rate achieved is higher amongst infertile patients (80.3%) compared with that of sterile patients (64%).


CONCLUSIONS
In the presence of septate uterus the endoscopic hysteroplasty is an efficient treatment in the case of secondary infertility and of unexplained sterility.
