The authors report their experience with hysteroplasty carried out at the gynecological clinic of the University of Verona between 1974 and 1981 and the 10-year follow-up of these patients. Of 46 operated patients, 4 had uterus septus, 38 uterus bicornis (31 bicornis unicollis and 7 bicornis bicollis) and 4 uterus didelphys. The Strassman intervention was used in 32 cases, the Bret-Palmer intervention in 13 and the Jones intervention in 1. The results were very good in 16 cases, satisfactory in 22 and moderate in 8; no negative result has been seen. 38 patients had later a baby. In 4 cases, the uterine malformation was associated with sterility, but this was caused by endometriosis or by pelvic inflammatory disease; therefore, the malformation is not the primary indication for surgery. The best results were achieved in cases of uterus septus or uterus bicornis.

Abstract

The authors report their experience with hysteroplasty carried out at the gynecological clinic of the University of Verona between 1974 and 1981 and the 10-year follow-up of these patients. Of 46 operated patients, 4 had uterus septus, 38 uterus bicornis (31 bicornis unicollis and 7 bicornis bicollis) and 4 uterus didelphys. The Strassman intervention was used in 32 cases, the Bret-Palmer intervention in 13 and the Jones intervention in 1. The results were very good in 16 cases, satisfactory in 22 and moderate in 8; no negative result has been seen. 38 patients had later a baby. In 4 cases, the uterine malformation was associated with sterility, but this was caused by endometriosis or by pelvic inflammatory disease; therefore, the malformation is not the primary indication for surgery. The best results were achieved in cases of uterus septus or uterus bicornis.
