Key requirements
Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.
- Ages 18 years and older
- Women only
- No healthy volunteers
- Adult, Older adult
Study population: The study population will consist of women who underwent hysteroscopic correction for uterine malformations at the Class Hysteroscopy Center of Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli di Roma or Azienda Ospedaliera Universitaria Federico II di Napoli. These malformations include partial, complete, and septate bicornuate uteri, dysmorphic uteri, with or without associated cervical and/or vaginal septa. Patients will be identified retrospectively through a review of medical records and will be contacted via telephone to obtain informed consent for participation in the study. Data will be collected retrospectively from medical records and through semi-annual follow-up telephone calls over a 12-month period.
Who may be able to join
- Women who underwent hysteroscopy at the Class Hysteroscopy Center of Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli di Roma or Azienda Ospedaliera Universitaria Federico II di Napoli for the correction of uterine malformations, including partial, complete, and septate bicornuate uteri, dysmorphic uteri, with or without associated cervical and/or vaginal septa (ESHRE-ESGE classification: U1a and U1c; U2a, U2b, and U3c with or without associated cervical or vaginal anomalies C1/2 or V1/2).
- Age 18 years or older.
Who cannot join
- Patients with known, concurrent causes of infertility.

About this study
The goal of this observational cohort study is to learn if hysteroscopic correction can improve reproductive outcomes in women with uterine malformations. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Primary hypothesis:
Read more
-Does hysteroscopic correction significantly improve pregnancy rates at 12 months post-surgery in women with uterine malformations?
Secondary hypotheses:
- Does hysteroscopic correction significantly reduce the rate of first and second-trimester spontaneous abortions?
- Does hysteroscopic correction significantly increase the live birth rate?
- In symptomatic patients, does hysteroscopic correction significantly reduce dyspareunia and dysmenorrhea?
- Which patient, histopathological, and surgical factors are associated with improved obstetric outcomes?
Researchers will compare obstetric outcomes (pregnancy rate, spontaneous abortion rate, live birth rate, and symptom severity) before and after hysteroscopic correction to determine the effectiveness of this surgical intervention.
Participants will be women with uterine malformations who underwent hysteroscopic correction at the Digital Hysteroscopy Center of Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli di Roma and Azienda Ospedaliera Universitaria Federico II di Napoli. Data will be retrospectively collected and analyzed to assess the impact of surgery on reproductive outcomes.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The goal of this observational cohort study is to learn if hysteroscopic correction can improve reproductive outcomes in women with uterine malformations. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Primary hypothesis:
-Does hysteroscopic correction significantly improve pregnancy rates at 12 months post-surgery in women with uterine malformations?
Secondary hypotheses:
- Does hysteroscopic correction significantly reduce the rate of first and second-trimester spontaneous abortions?
- Does hysteroscopic correction significantly increase the live birth rate?
- In symptomatic patients, does hysteroscopic correction significantly reduce dyspareunia and dysmenorrhea?
- Which patient, histopathological, and surgical factors are associated with improved obstetric outcomes?
Researchers will compare obstetric outcomes (pregnancy rate, spontaneous abortion rate, live birth rate, and symptom severity) before and after hysteroscopic correction to determine the effectiveness of this surgical intervention.
Participants will be women with uterine malformations who underwent hysteroscopic correction at the Digital Hysteroscopy Center of Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli di Roma and Azienda Ospedaliera Universitaria Federico II di Napoli. Data will be retrospectively collected and analyzed to assess the impact of surgery on reproductive outcomes.
