2. Role of Hysteroscopy in Abortion Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) Retained tissue Polyp/myoma Uterine synechia Septate uterus Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) Retained tissue Polyp/myoma Uterine synechia Septate uterus

3. Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) >3 (non)consecutive losses of clinically recognized pregnancies <20 th w <500gr –(ectopic, molar, and biochemical pregnancies are not included) –It may be primary or secondary ASRM  >2 failed pregnancies (ultrasound or histopathological) >3 (non)consecutive losses of clinically recognized pregnancies <20 th w <500gr –(ectopic, molar, and biochemical pregnancies are not included) –It may be primary or secondary ASRM  >2 failed pregnancies (ultrasound or histopathological)

4. Retained tissue Hysteroscopy removal is much less traumatic

5. Retained fetal bones Iatrogenic secondary infertility caused by residual intrauterine fetal bone after midtrimester abortion. An intrauterine device-like effect Iatrogenic secondary infertility caused by residual intrauterine fetal bone after midtrimester abortion. An intrauterine device-like effect

6. Sub mucousal myoma / polyp Abnormal uterine bleeding Recurrent pregnancy loss Infertility Abnormal uterine bleeding Recurrent pregnancy loss Infertility

7. Polyps Premenopausal –symptomatic polyps –asymptomatic polyps >1.5 Postmenopausal –all endometrial polyps (Grade 1B)Grade 1B Premenopausal –symptomatic polyps –asymptomatic polyps >1.5 Postmenopausal –all endometrial polyps (Grade 1B)Grade 1B

8. Hysterscopic Myomectomy European Society of Hysteroscopy (ESH) –Type 0 - completely within the cavity –Type I - extend < 50 % into the myometrium –Type II - extend >50 % within the myometrium European Society of Hysteroscopy (ESH) –Type 0 - completely within the cavity –Type I - extend < 50 % into the myometrium –Type II - extend >50 % within the myometrium

9. Distinguishing myoma versus myometrium

10. Intrauterine adhesions

11. Trauma –missed or incomplete abortion, postpartum hemorrhage, or retained placental remnants Genital tuberculosis Trauma –missed or incomplete abortion, postpartum hemorrhage, or retained placental remnants Genital tuberculosis

12. Intrauterine adhesions Foley cath. compared with IUD –↑ Normal menses (81 versus 63%) –↑ conception rates (34 versus 23 %) –↓ Need for reoperation 5 mg estrogen daily for 30 days Foley cath. compared with IUD –↑ Normal menses (81 versus 63%) –↑ conception rates (34 versus 23 %) –↓ Need for reoperation 5 mg estrogen daily for 30 days

13. Uterine septum

14. semirigid or rigid scissors (5-7 French) Bi/unipolar wire (KTP/532), (Nd:YAG), or argon lasers. semirigid or rigid scissors (5-7 French) Bi/unipolar wire (KTP/532), (Nd:YAG), or argon lasers.

15. hysteroscopic correction of arcuate uterus prior to IVF? Measurement by sonohysterography –Fm (fundal myometrial thickness) –Cm (cornual myometrial thickness) Incision of the incomplete septum. Fm >11 mm Fm-Cm >5 mm, Measurement by sonohysterography –Fm (fundal myometrial thickness) –Cm (cornual myometrial thickness) Incision of the incomplete septum. Fm >11 mm Fm-Cm >5 mm,

16. Arcuate uterus Metroplasty, as well as making the uterine cavity wider, leads to better uterine perfusion. Improvement of uterine artery Doppler velocimetry indices after metroplasty Metroplasty, as well as making the uterine cavity wider, leads to better uterine perfusion. Improvement of uterine artery Doppler velocimetry indices after metroplasty

17. Outpatient hysteroscopy and subsequent IVF cycle outcome Meta-analyses of five studies –Improving result in subsequent IVF cycle (relative risk = 1.75, 95% CI 1.51-2.03). Mini-hysteroscopy with no intervention before IVF treatment Meta-analyses of five studies –Improving result in subsequent IVF cycle (relative risk = 1.75, 95% CI 1.51-2.03). Mini-hysteroscopy with no intervention before IVF treatment

18. "Chromohysteroscopy" 5 ml of 1% methylene blue dye Group I: 19 patients focal dark staining 10 cases of endometritis Group II: 15 patients diffuse light blue staining normal histopathology 5 ml of 1% methylene blue dye Group I: 19 patients focal dark staining 10 cases of endometritis Group II: 15 patients diffuse light blue staining normal histopathology

19. Conclusion(1) Diagnostic hysteroscopy should be a routine procedure during diagnostic laparoscopy in infertile women

20. Conclusion(2) Office mini-hysteroscopy should be incorporated in infertility work up
