    Author: Schiano A, Jourdain O, Papaxanthos A, Hocke C, Horovitz J, Dallay D.
    Journal: Contracept Fertil Sex; 1999 Feb; 27(2):129-32. PubMed ID: 10191567.
    Abstract:
    OBJECT: we attempt to determine the usefulness of uterine re-assessment by hysteroscopy in women with two unsuccessful IVF-ET attempts. MATERIAL AND METHOD: This retrospective study concerns seventy-three infertile women who have had a repeat uterine hysteroscopy after two implantation failures in IVF. RESULTS: In half the cases, an abnormality was diagnosed. Cervical abnormalities (synechia, polyp, false passage) and hormono-dependent abnormalities (polyp, hyperplasia, submucous myoma) were the most frequent findings. The rate of pregnant women raises to twenty-two percent after treatment of these abnormalities. CONCLUSION: Regarding our experience, it seems legitimate to perform hysteroscopy in women who have had two IVF-ET failures before attempting a third procedure.
