OBJECTIVE To analyze fertility outcomes after resection of submucous myomas by operative hysteroscopy in infertile women. METHODS Retrospective analysis (Canadian Task Force classification II-2). METHODS Academic tertiary referral center. METHODS Forty-one women (age 28-42 yrs) old with primary and secondary infertility, and histologically proved submucous myomas. Intervention. Hysteroscopic myomectomy performed with a rigid resectoscope. RESULTS Of the 41 patients, 25 (60.9%) became pregnant overall and 20 (48.7%) delivered at term. Seventeen patients delivered a single fetus. Five delivered twins, three at term and two at 33 and 35 weeks. One woman delivered triplets at 31 weeks. The total delivery rate was 56.0%. Two women miscarried, at 6 and 8 weeks. One patient developed postoperative Asherman's syndrome. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that hysteroscopic myomectomy improves fertility in previously infertile women. Resection is a viable alternative to abdominal myomectomy for submucous myomas.
