Arch Gynecol Obstet. 2000 Jul;264(1):24-6. doi: 10.1007/pl00007477.

Abstract

We did a retrospective study on 102 patients who had a laparoscopy and a hysteroscopy during investigations for primary or secondary infertility. 32 of the 102 patients had uterine pathology. Seven of them had septate uteri, eight had uterine synechiae, another six had uterine fibroids, four had a bicornuated uterus, while the remaining had either a combination of all or other uterine anomalies. After surgical treatment of these conditions ten women conceived and five pregnancies including one twin pregnancy resulted in term deliveries.
