ABSTRACT

Background: Müllerian malformations are defined as anomalies development of female internal genitalia. Its incidence worldwide is 0.16% to 10%. The most common of these is the septate uterus which is due to a failure in the reabsorption of uterovaginal septum.
Objetive: To evaluate the impact on fertility hysteroscopic septoplasty in women with uterine septum.
Material and Methods: This is an open, observational, retrospective and cross-sectional study. 508 cases of which 313 patients underwent diagnostic office hysteroscopy hysteroscopy clinic were reviewed Hospital General Dr. Manuel Gea González, diagnosed with infertility, you access using the technique vaginoscopic according Betocchi, following the concept of” see and treat “, proceed to perform septoplasty with bipolar energy at that moment.
Results: 32 patients were diagnosed with uterine septum. 27 hysteroscopic septoplasty were performed in office and five scheduled in the operating room. 27 of them achieving pregnancy (84.38%) spontaneously regarding perinatal outcomes of those 27 patients who achieved pregnancy 2 had missed abortion, premature 8 were 17 were concluded; 5 required assisted fertilization.
Conclusion: The hysteroscopic septoplasty is now recommended for the treatment of uterine septum due to ease of performance by trained personnel, low morbidity, the feasibility of its implementation in practice, reduced cost, speedy recovery of patients and excellent reproductive outcome alternative. Classification according to the component of the septum is proposed.
