Successful pregnancy after hysteroscopic metroplasty

West Indian Med J. 2002 Dec;51(4):260-2.

Abstract

Congenital anomalies of the uterus have been estimated to affect 0.06-10% of women. Uterine septae account for approximately 80% to 90% of these anomalies and is also associated with the poorest reproductive outcome. Pregnancy loss in patients with a septate uterus has been reported to be as high as 90% after other causes for miscarriages have been excluded. We present here the first experience in Jamaica, of a successful pregnancy outcome after hysteroscopic metroplasty in a woman with a septate uterus and three previous miscarriages.
