    IP1242 [IPG509] NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR HEALTH AND CARE EXCELLENCE INTERVENTIONAL PROCEDURES PROGRAMME Interventional procedure overview of hysteroscopic metroplasty of a uterine septum for primary infertility or recurrent miscarriage In some women the uterus (womb) is divided into 2 halves by a thin wall of tissue, called a septum. This may affect fertility and increase the risk of miscarriage. In hysteroscopic metroplasty a thin tube with a camera on the end (a hysteroscope) is inserted into the vagina, through the cervix and into the womb. Instruments are passed through the hysteroscope into the womb and the septum is removed. Introduction The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has prepared this interventional procedure (IP) overview to help members of the Interventional Procedures Advisory Committee (IPAC) make recommendations about the safety and efficacy of an interventional procedure. It is based on a rapid review of the medical literature and specialist opinion. It should not be regarded as a definitive assessment of the procedure.

  • Uterine Rupture During Labor in a Patient That Had Undergone Layout 1
    Case Report Uterine Rupture During Labor in a Patient that Had Undergone Repetitive Uncomplicated Hysteroscopic Metroplasty Bülent HAYDARDEDEOĞLU, Seda YÜKSEL, Ayşe H. PARLAKGÜMÜŞ, Esra B. KILIÇDAĞ, Tayfun BAĞIŞ Ankara, Turkey Hysteroscopic surgery when performed by a well-trained hysteroscopic surgeon is a safe procedure with an overall complication rate of 3%, and the complications comprise uterine perforation, excessive hem- orrhage, air embolus, pulmonary edema, excessive glycine absorption, and infection. After hystero- scopic septum resection, a remnant uterine septum might be visualized on control hysterosalpingogra- phy or control hysteroscopy. Kormanyos et al. observed a remnant uterine septum in 38% of patients after initial hysteroscopic metroplasty. In our case hysteroscopy was performed twice without complica- tions. We used two different techniques in the same patient; the first involved a resectoscope with a unipolar electrode and the second involved a Versapoint with a bipolar electrode. Although these two op- eration types appear to be similar, hysteroscopic metroplasty with Versapoint is a safe and effective al- ternative to the operative resectoscope. Our case demonstrates a rare but dramatic complication of hys- teroscopic metroplasty. Uterine perforation during hysteroscopic metroplasty is accepted as a risk fac- tor for uterine rupture in pregnancy. The extensive enlargement of the uterus during pregnancy might be a reasonable cause of uterine rupture in patients that have undergone hysteroscopic metroplasty previ- ously. Key Words: Hysteroscopy, Metroplasty, Uterine rupture, Uterine septum Gynecol Obstet Reprod Med 2011;17:51-54 Operative hysteroscopy has replaced abdominal metro- After hysteroscopic septum resection, a remnant uterine plasty in many centers worldwide, with the correction of the septum might be visualized on control hysterosalpingography septate uterus for improvingoreproductive outcome.1 or control hysteroscopy.

  • Reproductive Outcome of a Complete Septate Uterus After Hysteroscopic Metroplasty
    Retrospective Clinical Research Report Journal of International Medical Research 48(3) 1–9 Reproductive outcome of a ! The Author(s) 2019 Article reuse guidelines: complete septate uterus after sagepub.com/journals-permissions DOI: 10.1177/0300060519893836 hysteroscopic metroplasty journals.sagepub.com/home/imr Zhenhong Wang1,*, Jian An1,2,* , Yanzhao Su1, Chaobin Liu1, Shunhe Lin1, Jinna Zhang1 and Xi Xie1 Abstract Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the reproductive outcomes of patients who underwent hysteroscopic metroplasty for correction of a complete septate uterus. Methods: The study population comprised 92 women with complete septate uteri. Hysteroscopic metroplasty and laparoscopy were performed simultaneously in these patients. The postoperative reproductive outcome of each patient was evaluated. Results: In the primary infertility group, there were 32 (40%) pregnancies. In the abortion group, the number of miscarriages decreased from 68 (94.44%) to 5 (10.42%), while the number of live births increased from 1 (1.39%) to 42 (87.50%) after resection compared with before resection. The cumulative probability of pregnancy and that of live-birth pregnancy in the abortion group were significantly higher than those in the primary infertility group after surgery. Furthermore, resection of the cervical septum resulted in a significantly higher cumulative probability of live birth compared with preservation of the cervical septum. Conclusion: Hysteroscopic uterine metroplasty may improve the reproductive performance of a septate uterus. Resection of the cervical septum may increase the probability of a live-birth pregnancy for patients with a cervical septum, and this procedure could be recommended for cases of a complete uterine septum.

Dr Attilio Di Spiezio Sardo obtained his Medical Degree in 2000, Certification in Obstetrics and Gynaecology in 2005 and PhD in Human Development, Reproduction and Growth in 2008. He worked at the Teaching Faculty at the Unit of Minimally Invasive Therapy and Endoscopy Training Centre, Royal Free Hospital, in 2003. He is Chief of the Hysteroscopy Unit at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Naples ‘Federico II’, and lectures in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. He has authored over 100 peer-reviewed papers. Abstract The new classification system of uterine anomalies from the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology and the European Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy defines T-shaped and tubular-shaped infantilis uteri as ‘dysmorphic’. Such malformations have been proven to be associated with poor reproductive performance. A prospective observational study was con- ducted with 30 infertile women with dysmorphic uterus who underwent the novel Hysteroscopic Outpatient Metroplasty to Expand Dysmorphic Uteri (HOME-DU ) technique.

There are few studies on the fundal uterine changes that occur after surgery. We designed a pilot prospective observational study to evaluate by three-dimensional transvaginal ultrasound (3D-TVS) the changes not only of the internal fundal uterine profile, but also of the external one, after hysteroscopic metroplasty.
