摘要：

Objectives: Assessment of the prevalence and types of uterine defects in patients with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) through hysteroscopy (HTC). Patients and methods: Sixty non pregnant patients with history of three or more consecutive spontaneous abortions were evaluated through HTC. The findings were separated into three groups: synechias, polypoids lesions (endometrial polyps and submucous myomas), and alterations of the cavity shape (mullerian anomalies). The findings were gathered and tabulated according to the presence of each defect. Results: Uterine anomalies were observed in 23 (38.3%) patients, with 16 (26.7%) synechias, 3 (5.0%) polypoids lesions and 8 (13.3%) shape alterations. Conclusions: The results obtained here suggest that the uterine factor has high prevalence in patients with a RPL history, and for this reason it should be systematically assessed in patients with a RPL history. © Springer-Verlag 2006.
