Abstract

The aim of the study – to determine the risk of secondary infertility after hysteroscopic metroplasty due to the uterine septum.

Materials and Methods. We retrospectively analyzed 102 medical records of patients with uterine septum who underwent hysteroscopic metroplasty during 2018–2021. A retrospective, single-center, cohort study included women with a history of at least two miscarriages associated with uterine septal hysteroscopic metroplasty. Baseline data were compared between patients who became pregnant and those who became infertile 1 year after hysteroscopic metroplasty. Data were analyzed using the Mann – Whitney U test.

With the help of the licensed program SPSS v.21 statistical processing of data entered in spreadsheets Excel–2010. In parallel with the search engines Pubmed, Google Scholar, Sciencedirect, Webcardio conducted an analysis of literature sources on this topic for the past 5 years.

Results and Discussion. The incidence of pregnancies after surgical correction was 83.9 % (26/31), the total number of live births per operation was 80.6 % (25/31), and the total live birth rate per pregnancy was 96.2 % (25 / 26). Comparison of pregnant (26) and infertile (5) women after hysteroscopic metroplasty did not reveal a significant difference in the number of previous miscarriages, features of past infertility treatment, anatomical location of the intrauterine septum or the presence of residual postoperative septum.

Thus, despite the high efficiency of hysteroresectoscopy in women of late reproductive age with an intrauterine septum which results in pregnancy in 83.9 % of women and the birth of a living child in 80.6 %.

Conclusions. The negative impact of surgical treatment of the uterine septum in women of late reproductive age cannot be clearly stated, as high live birth rates persist.

In addition, these studies indicate that the use of hysteroscopic metroplasty does not correlate with the development of secondary infertility. Namely, late reproductive age may contribute to the development of these changes. Therefore, it is the provision of early surgery and sufficient volume that will help achieve the desired results for fertility.
