Role of Hysteroscopy in Abortion • Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) • Retained tissue • Polyp/myoma • Uterine synechia • Septate uterus
Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) • >3 (non)consecutive losses of clinically recognized pregnancies <20th w <500gr • (ectopic, molar, and biochemical pregnancies are not included) • It may be primary or secondary • ASRM >2 failed pregnancies (ultrasound or histopathological)
Retained tissue • Hysteroscopy removal is much less traumatic
Retained fetal bones • Iatrogenic secondary infertility caused by residual intrauterine fetal bone after midtrimester abortion. • An intrauterine device-like effect
Sub mucousal myoma / polyp • Abnormal uterine bleeding • Recurrent pregnancy loss • Infertility
Polyps • Premenopausal • symptomatic polyps • asymptomatic polyps >1.5 • Postmenopausal • all endometrial polyps (Grade 1B)
Hysterscopic Myomectomy • European Society of Hysteroscopy (ESH) • Type 0 - completely within the cavity • Type I - extend < 50 % into the myometrium • Type II - extend >50 % within the myometrium
Intrauterine adhesions • Trauma • missed or incomplete abortion, postpartum hemorrhage, or retained placental remnants • Genital tuberculosis
Intrauterine adhesions • Foley cath. compared with IUD • ↑ Normal menses (81 versus 63%) • ↑ conception rates (34 versus 23 %) • ↓ Need for reoperation • 5 mg estrogen daily for 30 days
Uterine septum • semirigid or rigid scissors (5-7 French) • Bi/unipolar wire • (KTP/532), (Nd:YAG), or argon lasers.
hysteroscopic correction of arcuate uterus prior to IVF? • Measurement by sonohysterography • Fm (fundal myometrial thickness) • Cm (cornual myometrial thickness) • Incision of the incomplete septum. • Fm >11 mm • Fm-Cm >5 mm,
Arcuate uterus • Metroplasty, as well as making the uterine cavity wider, leads to better uterine perfusion. • Improvement of uterine artery Doppler velocimetry indices after metroplasty
Outpatient hysteroscopy and subsequent IVF cycle outcome • Meta-analyses of five studies • Improving result in subsequent IVF cycle • (relative risk = 1.75, 95% CI 1.51-2.03). • Mini-hysteroscopy with no intervention before IVF treatment
"Chromohysteroscopy" • 5 ml of 1% methylene blue dye • Group I: 19 patients focal dark staining • 10 cases of endometritis • Group II: 15 patients diffuse light blue staining • normal histopathology
Conclusion(1) • Diagnostic hysteroscopy should be a routine procedure during diagnostic laparoscopy in infertile women
Conclusion(2) • Office mini-hysteroscopy should be incorporated in infertility work up
