title: [Results of transcervical septotomy in infertility].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The anatomical abnormalities of the uterus could be the cause of infertility and spontaneous abortion in several cases.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  Authors would like to measure the successfulness of a modern endoscopic operative method among their own patients and the outcome of the pregnancies.
  
  
  METHODS
  Between 1st of January 1993 and 31st of December 1999 authors performed hysteroscopic septotomy in 66 patients with the history of recurrent miscarriage or uterus septum causing infertility. Based on the data of the clinical electronic database and by personal interviews 52 patients were followed up.
  
  
  RESULTS
  36 deliveries at term were registered, 28 were spontaneous and 8 were C-sections. In none of the C-section cases the previous septotomy was marked as indication for the operation. There wasn't any pregnancy found with subsequent miscarriage.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Authors emphasized the advantages of hysteroscopic septotomy against abdominal metroplasty.
