OBJECTIVES: To compare costs and complications associated with ultrasound-guided hysteroscopy vs laparoscopy-guided hysteroscopy vs hysteroscopy alone for the surgical repair of intrauterine septa and synechiae. METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study. Charts of all patients undergoing reparative surgery for intrauterine synechiae or uterine septa at our academic institution between 2000 and 2008 were reviewed. A total of 159 procedures were included in the study, categorized into concurrent laparoscopic guidance (n = 69), ultrasound guidance (n = 52) or no guidance (n = 38).

PATIENT(S): A 32-year-old female with secondary infertility undergoing IVF-ET. INTERVENTION(S): Transvaginal oocyte retrieval, transfer of a single blastocyst, and multifetal pregnancy reduction. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Ultrasound determination of pregnancy viability. RESULT(S): Six intrauterine gestational sacs, each with a fetus having cardiac activity, reduced to a triplet gestation. CONCLUSION(S): Physicians should consider advising patients undergoing IVF-ET to abstain from unprotected intercourse at least 4 days before the anticipated oocyte retrieval. Incomplete aspiration of ovarian follicles is …
