Operative hysteroscopy for treatment of intrauterine pathologies does not interfere with later endometrial development in patients undergoing in vitro fertilization

摘要

Operative hysteroscopy procedure is extensively used for the treatment of intrauterine abnormalities that can potentially cause infertility. To date, there are little data addressing the effect of operative hysteroscopy that applies electrical current for excision and its subsequent effect on endometrial thickness. This study was aimed to assess the effect of thermal resection used in operative hysteroscopy on endometrial thickness and on fertility outcome in women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF).
