Hysteroscopic metroplasty in women with primary infertility and septate uterus: reproductive performance after surgery.
OBJECTIVE
To assess reproductive performance in women with septate uterus and otherwise unexplained infertility after hysteroscopic metroplasty.


METHODS
A total of 72 women with septate uterus and otherwise unexplained primary infertility were included in the study. All of the women underwent hysteroscopic septal resection. Reproductive performance of these women within one year of surgery was studied and analyzed.


RESULTS
Thirty-three women (45.83%) conceived within one year of surgery. Only 4 women (12%) had spontaneous abortions, and only 5 (15%) had preterm delivery.


CONCLUSIONS
Hysteroscopic metroplasty in women with septate uterus significantly improves reproductive outcomes.
