This retrospective study concerns 102 cases of intra-uterine adhesions treated by exclusive hysteroscopic approach. Fifty-two patients (51%) presented with reproductive problems, 44 patients (43%) with menstrual problems and 6 were asymptomatic. Seventy-eight patients (76.5%) had an antecedent endometrial trauma on a gravid uterus. One hundred and forty-eight operative hysteroscopies were performed to treat 102 patients; 70 patients were treated in one endoscopic session (68.6%), 23 in two sessions (22.6%), 4 in three sessions (3.9%) and 5 in four sessions (4.9%). We report no infectious, hemorragic or metabolic complication but 6 perforations (5.8%). The mean follow-up is 24.4 months (from 6 to 46 months). Ten patients did not keep contact during follow-up. A good anatomical result was obtained in 88 patients (86.2%) after one or two hysteroscopic sessions. A good result on menstrual problems was obtained in 75% of the cases, especially in amenorrhea (90.5% success rate). The reproductive outcome is more disappointing. We obtained 34 pregnancies in 28 patients (10 abortions, 24 live born children). Twenty-two patients achieved no pregnancy (44%), but 13 of these patients presented with additional infertility factors.
