ABSTRACT
During 14 years, 430 women with some type of congenital uterine malformation were discovered by different methods, with a rate of 1 in 137 deliveries. In only 17 was metroplasty indicated, because of very poor reproductive performance; out of 42 desired pregnancies, only 14.3% live births resulted. The abortion rate was 65.2%, and there were 13% premature deliveries. The operations performed included the Strassmann type in 13, the Tompkins technique in three and the Jones operation in one. After the metroplasty, out of 27 completed pregnancies the rate of abortions fell in 14.8% (P less than 0.00003) and the rate of live births rose to 85.2% (P less than 0.00003). There is no doubt that when the indication for metroplasty is strictly imposed, the staff is well versed in the different types of operations and the treatment is done in a center which has acquired competence, the improvement in reproductive performance can be quite impressive.
