OBJECTIVE: To assess the feasibility, safety, and reproductive outcome of hysteroscopic metroplasty using the Versapoint device compared with the resectoscope using the Collins loop. METHODS: Sixty-three women diagnosed with partial septate uterus were included in the study. Forty-two women underwent hysteroscopic metroplasty using Versapoint and 21 women had the procedure using the resectoscope. Operating time, complications, pregnancy rate, and mode of delivery were recorded. Data were analyzed with the Mann-Whitney test. RESULTS: Operating time was 20.5 min for the resectoscope group and 15.4 min for the Versapoint group (P<0.05). Pregnancy rate, delivery rate, and spontaneous abortions were similar in both groups. CONCLUSION: Operative hysteroscopy with Versapoint does not require cervical dilation, thus avoiding cervical incompetence, cervical lacerations, and uterine perforation. The Versapoint technique is a safe and effective alternative to the resectoscope. It could be used predominantly in nulligravida women, especially in those with cervical canal stenosis. |
