Hysteroscopic Analysis of IVF-ET Failure in 130 Patients / 中国微创外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of hysteroscopy before in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer(IVF-ET).Methods From December 2003 to May 2005,130 patients received hysteroscopy in our hospital because of IVF-ET failure.Their intrauterine diseases were treated by hysteroscopy,and the abnormal tissues were examined pathologically.Results Among the 130 cases,87 had intrauterine diseases(87/130,66.9%) including endometritis in 40(40/130,30.8%),endometrial polyps in 23(23/130,17.7%),intrauterine adhesion in 20(20/130,15.4%),and submucous leiomyoma in 4(4/130,3.1%).In these patients,67 underwent IVF/ICSI or frozen embryo transfer within one year after the hysteroscopy,of which 20 patients achieved pregnancy.The clinical pregnancy rate was about 30%.The other 20 cases did not repeat IVF-ET in 10-20 months after the hysteroscopy,and had no pregnancy without contraception.Conclusion Pre-transfer hysteroscopy is helpful to avoid IVF-ET failure owing to intrauterine diseases.
