Abstract

Objective: A septate uterus is a common congenital anomaly often identified during infertility evaluations and is associated with adverse reproductive outcomes. Hysteroscopic septum resection is widely recognized as a standard, safe, and effective treatment. This study aimed to evaluate reproductive and pregnancy outcomes in infertile women who underwent hysteroscopic septum resection.

Method: This retrospective cohort study included infertile women aged 18 to 45 years who were diagnosed with a uterine septum and were candidates for assisted reproductive technology (ART) between 2011 and 2021. Participants had either primary or secondary infertility and underwent hysteroscopic septoplasty. Data were collected from medical records and telephone interviews, which included demographic information and postoperative outcomes, such as chemical and clinical pregnancy rates, live birth rates, and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Statistical analyses employed descriptive methods, including frequencies and means.

Results: Among 735 women, 84.6% had primary infertility, and 51.5% had infertility for 1-5 years. The chemical pregnancy rate was 44.6%, clinical pregnancy 42.8%, and live birth 36.7%. No significant differences were found between primary and secondary infertility groups in pregnancy or live birth rates. Adverse outcomes included preterm labor (6.7%) and preeclampsia (4.8%). Vaginal delivery was the most common mode (81.8%).

Conclusion: Hysteroscopic septum resection appears to improve pregnancy outcomes and live birth rates in individuals undergoing ART. Nevertheless, prospective studies with control groups are needed to confirm these findings and establish stronger evidence.

不孕妇女宫腔镜子宫隔切除术后的生殖结局:一项回顾性队列研究。
目的:子宫间隔是一种常见的先天性异常,经常在不孕症评估中发现,并与不良生殖结果相关。宫腔镜中隔切除术被广泛认为是一种标准、安全、有效的治疗方法。本研究旨在评价宫腔镜下行子宫隔切除术的不孕症妇女的生殖和妊娠结局。方法:本回顾性队列研究纳入了2011年至2021年期间诊断为子宫中隔的18至45岁不孕妇女,她们是辅助生殖技术(ART)的候选人。参与者有原发性或继发性不孕症,并接受宫腔镜鼻中隔成形术。从医疗记录和电话访谈中收集数据,包括人口统计信息和术后结果,如化学和临床妊娠率、活产率和不良妊娠结局。统计分析采用描述性方法,包括频率和平均值。结果:735例女性中,84.6%为原发不孕,51.5%为1-5年不孕。化学妊娠率44.6%,临床妊娠率42.8%,活产率36.7%。原发性和继发性不孕症组在妊娠率或活产率方面没有发现显著差异。不良结局包括早产(6.7%)和先兆子痫(4.8%)。阴道分娩是最常见的分娩方式(81.8%)。结论:宫腔镜中隔切除术可改善ART患者的妊娠结局和活产率。然而,需要对对照组进行前瞻性研究来证实这些发现并建立更有力的证据。
